Stepping Stones

2.5"x 3"x 1.25"













Artist statement


Memento is a piece that is centered around a particular memory of the time I had to move to the United States for school and leave everything back home. For me, this was the stepping stone to the future that I was going to build while over here. To succeed from where we come from, you need to leave the island and go for something big, if not you're going to be stuck there.

So for me, this was a big move and a positive move. Therefore, these three pieces of wood here represent the steps that I had to take to come here, and the big piece in the middle symbolizes that barrier of leaving the island. Is going from taking small steps to making significant steps, without guidance.

The nails that were used in this piece represent the core of who I am and the part that holds everything together. Without this "nail" these steps would not be possible.

Shaped textures of the Mind 3"x 3"x 3.5" The hanging and dripping square in the middle is placed to purposely drag  the attention of the viewer and bringing their focus to one particular point. This diamond inspired piece, is made with the idea of a globe style figure. Where the small cube, that hangs on the inside of a more significant hub. It gives off more of a cocoon vibe with it being attached on a  much more visible thread.  1.5"x 6"x 2" This skeleton sculpture is built on the principle of repetition. The basic shapes that  built up the skeleton are the same style, but just in different sizes, and these run along a  wavey vertical xis that hold it all together. The simplicity of the figure design is what  ties this piece together. The variation in sizes helps this figure more organically flowing. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"The body is the primary mode of perceiving scale." While on vacation in Dubai this past summer, I got to see these amazing works of art that  man made and put there. Everywhere you would turn it would be "The Worlds Largest" this or that. Telling us that everything is bigger than the rest of the world. From that view on the  ground it all did look pretty big, but once I got up in to the sky it all looked small and  the same as the rest of the building we see on the daily in the rest of the world.  ---------------------------- "Capacity of objects to serve as traces of authentic experiences. " This one was a little though to figure out, but once i realized it it was much easier.  Even though I owned this Jeep here for more than, 3 years already and had  a lot of experiences with it before, this day will never be forgotton. This image right here shows the first time ever that i took the car off-roading here
