Jianzhen Wu, Holistic Therapy 3 (detail), 2019, lampworked borosilicate glass, essential oil, cork

Through the integration of holistic therapy and creative art processes, my work encourages a connection between mind and body. The meditative creative process allows me to release my negative energy and to stay in the current moment. The hollow glass form is filled with aromatic essential oil, which then diffuses through the cork stoppers. The primary negative energy transforms into sculptural object that soothes the audience through their scent—completing the cycle of healing.
