Store Bought Serotonin Lamp

For this lamp in the shape of a Pill Bottle I took inspiration from my own struggles with anxiety and depression. Taking medication to help with these chemical imbalances used to scare me because of the stigma, but I've been learning to embrace the adversity and find a new light in store bought serotonin. Adding color and light emphasizes this point. A big thank you to Yoko Lida for her support and help.
Learning Outcomes:
I learned how to make silicone molds, pour resin, sand and polish resin, use the band saw, sand wood, coat and paint wood, use a laser cutter to create acrylic pieces and add ons.
