Aliyah Holden-Charles transforms everyday cravings into sculptural joy. Working with air-dry clay and wax, her debut series Primary Foods: Donuts! blends playful form with sharp material wit. What began in the summer of 2024 as an exploration of simple shapes evolved into a deliciously tactile celebration of obsession, indulgence, and restraint. These donuts may look good enough to eat—but their permanence dares you not to take that first bite. A foodie at heart, Aliyah crafts moments of desire you can hold onto—forever.
