Sandra Ono’s sculptural practice transforms everyday materials—such as cotton swabs, earplugs, and plastic bags—into organic, biomorphic forms that evoke the human body. Drawing from biology and physiology, she reconstructs these utilitarian objects to explore how we process internal states and corporeal experiences.
