As I can look back to the 16 years I’ve been living on this earth and the hardships that I have come across, I've decided to make a piece of art that I’ll be able to recall to in a few years from now about all experiences I’ve gone through that shaped me to the person that I am. Although as  I was contemplating on what I truly wanted to create, the first things that came to mind were the ocean and puzzles since the ocean is an analogy of the hardships but also the godsends in life.  Since there will always be low tides and high tides crashing meaning that the low tides are the godsend things in life as well as the best times. Although the high tides are an analogy of the times where I went through things where factors led that interference in my life to go through a hardship such as where the puzzles come into perspective since they’re the causes that led the hardship but are also the lessons of events that correlate with other puzzles such as these lessons are what shaped me to the person I am. However, as high tides and low ties will eventually continue to occur through life, all experiences from the past and now will dictate the person that I will, fortunately, be in the future.

I start off with a plastic face mask and wrapped it around with newspaper and lather wheat paste all over the newspaper until it completely soaked the whole newspaper with wheat paste and i stopped adding more layers until i began to notice that the face feature were unseeable. I then began to wait until my face mask dry out to began the following steps.

# data[].attributes.body
I started by making a big sphere of clay and then outline a circle on top of the sphere as it was guider to help me dig out all of the clay that was in the circle of the outline to make the opening of the teapot

# data[].attributes.body
As I was done with getting all of the clay from the inside of the sphere, I rolled out pieces of clay to create the honeycomb by attaching the rolled up pieces of clay around the pot, As I was done, I went ahead and blended the rolled pieces of clay to give it a more of a cleaner look

# data[].attributes.body
I then proceeded to make the lid by making a small sphere of clay and flatten it down with a rolling pin then started to pinch the sides and make my way up to make it like a rounded hill/ knoll hill

# data[].attributes.body
I then added lid knob by rolling out small amount of clay to make the center of the flower and then slip both sides and score with a fork and place the center of the flower in the middle top of the lid then proceeded to make the petals by rolling out clay and outline the shape of a petal then cookie cut the petals with the knife and began to attach the petals by slip and scoring

# data[].attributes.body
I then began to make the spout by rolling out a piece of clay and began to make it into a tube and then place where the spout was going to be attach and trace out the rounded part of the tube to carve the circle so i could make an opening for the water pass through the spout

# data[].attributes.body
I started off with making a block of clay into a ramp and adjusted the height by using clams which I used to measured the thickness of my hand

# data[].attributes.body
I then began to trace my hand on the ramp of clay and proceeded to cut the outline

# data[].attributes.body
After I cut the outline of my hand i began to cut excess clay off my fingers and around my hand to shape the hand I then rounded the edges and sides of my fingers. I also cut between my fingers to create more volume for the webbing fleshy areas, and valleys.

# data[].attributes.body
I then began to outline the nails on the fingers by measuring my nail with the tip of a knife and mark the distance of my cuticle to the tip of my nail and then proceeded to draw the outline of my nail.

# data[].attributes.body
I then went ahead and continue the same process as I did to the base but I instead cookie cut 12 thin and 2 wide medium slabs

# data[].attributes.body
I then proceeded to slip and score the two wide medium slabs but first I lightly outline the two medium slabs that I was going to locate on the middle of the base. I began to slip and score by slipping slip on the edges and began to score the slip by going in with a fork and making lines.

# data[].attributes.body
I started by spraying my table with water and then went ahead and rolled out a piece of clay to make the base, but before I rolled out the piece of clay, I first used the bullhead technique to avoid any air from trapping inside the clay.

# data[].attributes.body
I then proceed to slip and score on the outline of the base slab by slipping slip on and then went ahead and score the slip by drawing lines across to secure the two slabs together

# data[].attributes.body
As I had finished attaching the two based slabs on the main slab, I then when ahead by smoothing out the edges out. I then proceeded to join two of the thin medium slabs together as I felt like the slabs were leather hard then outline where I was going to locate the two thin slabs. Then slip and score the bottom sides that were going to be coming in contact with the wide medium base slab as I continue to slip and score on the outline and the mid part between the two thin slabs.

# data[].attributes.body
As I proceeded to join the slabs together and finish the first base I went ahead and added some skewers to hold my structure together and also went ahead by blending and smoothing out edges.

# data[].attributes.body
I began to repeat the same process from the first base and took out the skewers as I felt that the first base was secure enough to hold up the second base

# data[].attributes.body
I then began on adding a third base as I continue to repeat the same process from the previous bases

# data[].attributes.body
As I notice that my face mask was sturdy enough I began to outline my face mask on a piece of paper for the back of my face mask.

I started by spraying my table with water and then went ahead and rolled out a piece of clay but used the bullhead technique to avoid any air from trapping inside my clay or leading to air bubbles as I rolled out my clay out for the front base of my wall relief I repeated the same process and made another slab for the support structure.

# data[].attributes.body
As I finished cutting all the slabs that I was going to need I then started to lightly outline all lines on the background to mark where each piece of the slab was going to be located and began to use the slip and score method by slipping slip on the outline of the wall relieve as well the side of the slab and at the bottom, as it was going to make contact with another slab or be placed on top of the background as I was slipping slip I also was scoring the sides by going in with a fork and making lines across only to the sides with slip on them and did this on the background as well.

# data[].attributes.body
As I finished slipping and scoring and sticking each slab together I then began to blend in the corners and smooth sides to make it seem less noticeable that I just stuck the slabs together as well as made sure that my support structure was evenly aligned with the other slabs.

# data[].attributes.body
As I finished working on my background relief and waited until it dried up a bit. I flipped my background around.

# data[].attributes.body
I began to make different types of waves and when creating this I rolled out a piece of clay and started pinching it upwards. As I got to the end I made sure the tip of the wave was thin. I then began to curve the end downwards to shape it like a wave was crashing down.

# data[].attributes.body
I then decided to make a bigger wave and repeated the same process that I did for the smaller waves and then went ahead to make minor touches on how I wanted the wave to be positioned such as cutting about 2/3 of the big wave.

# data[].attributes.body
As I hallowed out the clay from the bottom of the waves. I began to carve all the clay out and avoid getting near the walls of the wave as well as the thin area of the wave and then poked holes on the areas where ventilation wasn't enabled such as the thinner areas of the wave.

# data[].attributes.body
I began working on my background by carving out puzzle shapes on my background. As I did this I began printing out a paper of puzzle pieces and went ahead by tracing the outline of the puzzle pieces with a washable marker. I then transfer the outline to the background by sticking the side where I outline the puzzles onto my background and then the marker ink transfers onto the background and I went ahead and fill in the faded areas.

# data[].attributes.body
Once I was done tracing all the missing faded areas from the background. I then began carving all the puzzle shapes by using a carving tool.

# data[].attributes.body
As I finished working on carving the puzzle shapes from my background I went ahead and started to carve puzzle shapes on my wave and I did this by repeating the same process with the background.

# data[].attributes.body
I repeated the same process with the previous slide and background.

# data[].attributes.body
I repeated the same process with the previous slides.

# data[].attributes.body
I then began to finish with carving all the material that was needed to be carved and went ahead by outlining where the wave was going to be located. I then began using the slip and score method by slipping slip on the outline as well at the bottom of the wave and then score lines across the areas with slip. As I stuck the wave onto the background I began to blend the front and back of the wave with slip and soft clay to give the appearance of the wave that it’s coming out of the background.

# data[].attributes.body
I began by using soft clay and slip to blend the sides of the wave. I also made small touches on carving some areas of the puzzle and cleaning excess clay between the carvings.

# data[].attributes.body
I then proceeded to make sure that my outline was shape as an oval to make the shape of the zebras's head including extending the outline by placing my face mask on top and cutting out about a few cm away from my face mask to add more mass.

# data[].attributes.body
I then began on rolling a slab of clay to make the handle of the clay by curving it and attaching it to the pot

# data[].attributes.body
I began by adding foam texture on the tips of the waves by getting the consistency of the slip to be thick by mixing slip and clay powder and adding it on the tip of the wave and added detail by going in with a fork and scoring the slip.

# data[].attributes.body
I proceeded to tape my face mask on to my outlines to make the face mask secure

# data[].attributes.body
I began to crumble up paper to build up mass on the top area of the head and then began to make my way by adding mass and volume around the forehead area

# data[].attributes.body
I proceeded to work on the nails

# data[].attributes.body
I then proceeded to build up volume including mass all over the mask area until no vivid face futures from the mask were seen

# data[].attributes.body
I then proceeded to make some adjustments by taking off some news paper off areas where they weren't needed like the eye area and nostrils

# data[].attributes.body
I then proceeded to define where the nose area was going to start to get an idea where i was going to define the feature like the nostrils and the mouth area.

# data[].attributes.body
As I finished allocating and defining the nostrils and mouth area. I then proceeded to work on the area above the nose such like defining the face area by twisting newspaper and adding a flat piece of newspaper soak with wheat paste on top and connecting/blending it near the nose area.

# data[].attributes.body
I proceeded to fill in areas that needed some volume by crumbling newspaper and covering it with a new flat piece of newspaper soak with wheat paste on top and continue the process until it seem right

# data[].attributes.body
I then began by working on the ears and i did this by outlining the shape of a zebra's ears and then proceeded to cut it out and semi folded it in half and began to wrap it around with newspaper and I lathered wheat paste to stick all the newspaper together

# data[].attributes.body
I then began by cleaning the uneven side that weren't elevated by adding newspaper to the areas that needed it and finishing it off with adding a last layer of newspaper

# data[].attributes.body
I then began by adding beans/ beads and sticking them  above the eye socket, around the nostril, and around the ears by hot gluing them and then proceed  on letting them air dry then I clean up any left residue from the glue, and the went on painting the whole zebra with black paint including the beans/beads

# data[].attributes.body
I then proceed to paint the beans/beads with white paint including inside the ears

# data[].attributes.body
I then began on adding seashell pieces to fill in the white areas of the zebra by hot gluing them

# data[].attributes.body
I then proceeded to add some stripes by hot gluing the side of the zebra's head and continue the steps all around

# data[].attributes.body
I proceeded to continue the same steps all around by hot gluing every seashell piece by piece

# data[].attributes.body
As I finished adding the stripes all around i began to work on the background by cutting off some husk into pieces and started off on one side and made my way to other i also begin with the smaller pieces

# data[].attributes.body
As i finish sticking the husk at the back of my mask with hot glue i began on clean up any glue residue that was left in between the husks.

# data[].attributes.body
I then added some feathers on my background to fill in the gaps between the husk and i also end up adding eyes on my zebra by adding some beads and painting it black. I also went ahead and clean up any dry up glue by scraping it off and touching it all off with an extra coat of black paint
