Going into this project I wasn't sure what to sculpt. I wanted it to mean something to me but I couldn't really think of any interests that I'm really passionate about or a single event that really shaped my life. I decided to make something that represents me. In my piece I am represented by the Koi fish. I chose the Koi because it represents perseverance. In the future I would like to get a Koi fish tattoo because it is often used as a symbol of people overcoming struggles. In this case the water that the Koi is swimming through is meant to represent my dads alcoholism. That has been the biggest struggle in my life that has caused many changes in my family. The three lily pads represent my three siblings that have been through many struggles with me. The one water lily that is be the side of the Koi represents my mom. She has had the most struggle out of us but she has never left our side.
