My Favorite Things

Vivian Brezler

1) A Tiffany & Co necklace. Because it represents the forever friendship between my two childhood best friends and I. We all have matching ones that we received as a high school graduation gift.

2) A keychain wallet. Because I love my car and it carries a lot of memories ranging from road trips, family vacations, or driving around town.

3) A travel Gucci perfume. Because it is my mom's favorite perfume. Every time I wear it, it reminds me of her and how important my mom and family is to me.

4) A running shoe. Because I run every single day. Running is a big part of my life and gives my life structure, routine, and a group of friends and mentors.

5) A "V" initial ceramic dish. Because I got it on my study abroad trip to Morocco this past summer. This trip was life changing and I made so many new friends and gained so many new experiences.

Reflection Statement for the sculpture collection

The three sculptures visually communicate focal point, repetition, and negative space through color, structure, and movement. While exploring materials, I focused on how form and texture could create contrast and rhythm. I included wood, wire, and resin to balance solid and transparent elements. When the compositions felt incomplete, I adjusted spacing and angles to create stronger visual tension. This work allowed me to explore how color and form guide the eye, and how emptiness can be just as expressive as structure.

Bulletproof Umbrella, 2006

Color & Emphasis

The bright orange of the umbrella contrasts sharply against the neutral gray floor and white wall. This intense color immediately draws the viewer’s attention, creating a strong focal point.

Red Berg, 2006

Scale & Proportion

The large geometric wire structure towers over the viewer inside the space. Its exaggerated scale compared to the human figure emphasizes the monumentality of the form.
