Inspired to sculpt an extension of my body, I created an open pregnant belly that revealed residential interior spaces. Being pregnant signifies bringing something new to the world. Since sixth grade, I have dreamed of designing interior spaces. I created distinct color schemes and styles for each room to show the breadth of my ideas: an elegant and classy foyer, a coastal bedroom, a modern bohemian living room, and a vibrant, playful dining nook. Presenting these rooms as models inside a womb shows the fostering and continuing development of my future design deliveries. When expecting mothers grow and carry a baby in their womb, they build a physical and emotional connection with it. The same happens between people and the built environments they inhabit. This piece expresses my journey of discovering my purpose and symbolizes the legacy I want to leave.

Creativity means thinking and making in ways that stray away from the precedent. Visual storytelling is my form of exploring who I am and my ideas, and I will forever use this power to express my truth and connect with others.
