For my small sculptures I chose fear, I focused on the effects of fear in film and how creators chose to portray it.
There are many types of fears that we as humans have. Wether it is born, acquired, or emotional contagion

I chose pure joy and asked myself, “does pure joy exist?” I came to the conclusion that pure joy comes from fulfillment. In death, birth, and trying to find that fulfillment anyway you can.

I chose utopian and dystopian duality because I feel the idea of a utopian society absurd, yet that’s what most developed societies try to encompass. The amount of power needed for the government to have in order to make such a place would corrupt the entity. I made me sculptures reflect that corruption and absurdity.

I choose anxiety. I’ve been feeling stressed lately and I wanted to show that. When I get anxious,
my head starts to feel like a tornado, and my mind gets twisted under pressure. I hope you enjoy:)

My theme was the natural joy in the universe. When we are born, we’re already gifted with, light, water, and nature, of all which the universe grants us. The sun represents the light that gives us warmth, the water spout/geyser represents the influx of water on Earth, and the lily represents the beauty of nature.

My topic of choice was anxiety. I wanted to show the both physical and mental effects of it. I used the hand choking the figure of a human to show that anxiety often times takes control and makes it hard to breath, and how it feels like all that is left is the shell of a body. I then made a brain with wire in it to show how it’s barely being held together, and to show how thoughts are painful. And lastly I made a figure of a knot to show how the effect make you feel stuck , and puts your stomach in a knot.

My theme was the fear of animals, specifically the fear of dogs(canines), insects, and birds. The painted clay canine-like skull with nails as teeth is to represent the fear of being around or bitten by dogs. The bird beak mask is to represent the fear of the beaks or birds like being pecked. The hand-like figure made out of molted cicada skins is to represent the fear of bugs like touching them or being near them.

My theme for these pieces is the extreme effects of hunger and thirst. The first sculpture shows how empty, hollow, and weak you feel when you are deprived from food and water, like an empty shell. The second emphasizes pain and near death by how shriveled and skinny one is without essentials for life. The last piece represents the pinching feeling of hunger creeping up into their consciousness, which holds them back.

I wanted to portray the long-term behavioral and psychological effects of anxiety. a) I wanted to depict a sort of stockholm syndrome that accompanies anxiety - how you find "comfort" in being anxious . b) I wanted to depict the action of masking and suppressing anxiety - pulling yourself together so no one knows you're falling apart. c) i wanted to convey the feeling of learned helplessness - no matter how many good things will happen, it only takes a bit of anxiety to weigh you down. eventually you just embrace the dread because it was never in your favour.

These 3 small sculptures represent a biomechanical relationship between something organic and something cold and digitized. I wanted to create something that could maybe soon be a reality in the near future. A world where humans depend on artificial intelligence and computers to help them hang on to life. In my mind its very "I Have No Mouth. and I Must Scream" esque.
