Sculpture

For a long time, I had a complex with my own personal ability to be vulnerable. I believed that people wouldn’t and shouldn’t pay attention to an emotional plea for connection. At first, my pieces were like a selfish shout in the dark. I am not special. I didn’t care if nobody observed them or interpreted them correctly, I just needed them to become physical.

Within the last year I was prescribed antidepressants.

Needless to say, my life has been changed exponentially, and it's been fascinating to see the effect on my work.

Over the last couple of months, I have felt more comfortable diving into any arbitrary subject for no other reason than my own personal enjoyment, and this has led to more opportunities than I ever could have imagined, both personally and professionally.

My concepts have become more personal and relatable, and I have confidence making my work hoping for interpretation and conversation. The shout in the dark has instead become the instigator for friendship and connection between others.
