Similar to how new life may grow out of dead trees, Anew depicts how I am growing into another person, into someone new. Change is an inevitable part of life, no matter how much one tries to stop it. It can be seen as something positive, something negative, or something somewhere in the middle. The wire sculpture surrounding the ceramic components represents who I am now. It represents how I am taking parts of my past (the ceramic sculpture), and growing into a new person from that. The blood vessels extend into the old me, supplying the heart with bits and pieces of who I used to be. My heart rests in a different place now, as my identity is changing, and my loves and interests are no longer what they used to be. Although the wire is far less structurally sound than the solid ceramics, just like how I am still developing into who I truly want to be, it is the truth, and I cannot change it.

To me, creativity is a mirror of my life, my experiences, the experiences of others, and the world. It is a way to see the growth, fall, and the extent of humanity.
