Oxytocin is a striking sculpture crafted using 3D printing and bronze powder, embodying the warmth and connection intrinsic to family intimacy. Through its organic, fluid forms, the piece gives tangible presence to oxytocin, often called the "love hormone," which fosters bonds in moments of closeness. The bronze powder lends a rich, timeless quality, grounding the flowing shapes with a sense of permanence. Delicate yet solid, the sculpture beautifully captures the ebb and flow of familial affection each curve and surface reflecting the invisible bonds that tie loved ones together.
