I turned the small coin shapes I have into cheese wheels with a slice cut out which can be seen in the background but I do not have a photo of just the cheese wheels I accidentally deleted it, and then for the combined module I took a few cheese wheels and had started merging them.

Artist statement:

This piece represents me, with each of the circles being an aspect of my life that is very special to me. The first circle I’ll talk about is the first one I made, the surfboards. They represent my parents who raised me my entire life at the beach and both absolutely love surfing and go surfing almost every day. The next circle is the dog paw it represents my dog Koa who passed away recently and was a major part of my life because he was a great dog who was so sweet and I grew up with him practically my entire life, there is also a treat next to his paw that was his favorite treats that we used to always get him. The next circle is the chains that represent my friends and our friendship, I represented it with chains because our my friendships will last forever and is like a chain. The next circle is the water droplet and ripples that represents how I feel when I listen to music because it brings me peace and makes me happy. The next circle is the last one I made which is the Polaroid photos that represent the future that I will fill with photos of me and my family. The last part of the piece is the heart in the center that represents my heart and has all the circles surrounding it to show how they are each very important aspects of my life that I will forever cherish and keep in my heart.

I started out with the smallest squares 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
I cut out all the shapes and had my first attempt at a smaller square on the top that is being replaced by the B square

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Here are the biggest squares of the piece that will be & and the letter C 

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Here is my first attempt at a base for it, I did not get a photo of the new base but it is twice the size to support the piece when it stands

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Here is the piece fully assembled with each piece of it slipped and scored together.
