Emotions

This piece depicts how different relationships in one's life can make someone feel, whether that is good or bad. Other people can have a powerful effect on one's mood and frame of mind, so it is important to consider how your words and actions can affect others.
Making this piece, I was going through a tough time with one of my friendships, and I wanted to express this through my art. Previously at a sculpture summer intensive at UCLA, I created a sculpture using clay, chicken wire, and plaster. I then used this sculpture as a reference photo for my piece, which fit with my ideas perfectly.
I simultaneously thought about the emotions that I was feeling during this time, and began to add more words that described how I felt in other relationships in my life. To show how these emotions where constantly on my mind, I wrote them in rings around the head of my piece.

Expressing my creativity allows me to dive into my emotions and to truly understand myself. I love sharing my work with people, and take pride in creating work that others can relate to.
