This entire piece represents my core values in abstract ways.

Ears:
Large and noticeable. One ear symbolizes listening and the other ear symbolizes learning because those are both core values of mine.

Mouth:
The mouth symbolizes the importance of moral values and expressing yourself thoughtfully and thoroughly.

The small figures:
The small figures represent a crowd of people to allow the larger figures to stand out. These figures help to contribute to my idea of authenticity because they are a crowd of nearly identical figures and allow the larger figures to stand out more.

The large figures:
Both of the larger figures are meant to represent me. They are placed in front of the crowd of smaller figures to once again emphasize my idea of authenticity. The characters are split in two because to symbolize a constant mental battle with myself and the fact that most of my mental struggles are self inflicted without any external influences.

The missing tooth:
The gap where a tooth should be symbolizes my personal loss of innocence, constant nostalgia, and overall loss of childhood which is something that I grieve often.

This piece was a sort of go with the flow project, I began with the large figures in the center to be the main focus of the piece. I then added in smaller figures surrounding the larger ones to create a scene similar to that of worship. This piece represents unity and happiness.
