The ear cuff form was chosen because the natural curvature of the nautilus mirrors the organic shape of the human ear. Through precise folding techniques and the repetitive construction of identical elements, I created a geometric structure that captures the essence of the nautilus\u2019s intricate form. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To enhance the level of detail and precision, I incorporated laser-cutting techniques, allowing for intricate patterns that further emphasize the marine natural beauty. This project goes beyond aesthetics\u2014it serves as a reminder of the deep connection between humans and nature. By drawing inspiration from an endangered marine species, this piece raises awareness about the urgent need to protect fragile ecosystems and preserve biodiversity. It is a call to appreciate nature\u2019s designs and take action against its destruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2089\" height=\"3000\" data-id=\"18609\" src=\"https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/IMG_3855-3-2089x3000.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18609\" srcset=\"https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/IMG_3855-3-2089x3000.jpg 2089w, https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/IMG_3855-3-1393x2000.jpg 1393w, https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/IMG_3855-3-768x1103.jpg 768w, https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/IMG_3855-3-1070x1536.jpg 1070w, https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/IMG_3855-3-1426x2048.jpg 1426w, https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/IMG_3855-3-scaled.jpg 1783w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2089px) 100vw, 2089px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"3000\" height=\"2165\" data-id=\"18611\" src=\"https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/IMG_3950-3000x2165.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18611\" srcset=\"https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/IMG_3950-3000x2165.jpg 3000w, https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/IMG_3950-2000x1443.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/IMG_3950-768x554.jpg 768w, https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/IMG_3950-1536x1108.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/IMG_3950-2048x1478.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3000px) 100vw, 3000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2101\" height=\"3000\" data-id=\"18610\" src=\"https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/IMG_3954-2-2101x3000.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18610\" srcset=\"https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/IMG_3954-2-2101x3000.jpg 2101w, https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/IMG_3954-2-1401x2000.jpg 1401w, https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/IMG_3954-2-768x1097.jpg 768w, https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/IMG_3954-2-1076x1536.jpg 1076w, https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/IMG_3954-2-1434x2048.jpg 1434w, https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/IMG_3954-2-scaled.jpg 1793w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2101px) 100vw, 2101px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1844\" height=\"2459\" data-id=\"18612\" src=\"https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/IMG_3956-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18612\" srcset=\"https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/IMG_3956-3.jpg 1844w, https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/IMG_3956-3-1500x2000.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/IMG_3956-3-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/IMG_3956-3-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/IMG_3956-3-1536x2048.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1844px) 100vw, 1844px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":18612,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[120],"class_list":["post-18608","student-work","type-student-work","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-elective","tag-digital-fabrication-body"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Waner Li - Parsons Notes<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/parsons.edu\/undergrad\/student-work\/waner-li\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Waner Li - Parsons Notes\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"I designed a pair of ear cuffs inspired by the elegant spiral of the nautilus shell.
