Reflection Statement for Experimental Sculpture Collection

The three sculptures visually communicate the relationship between texture, form, and emotion. While exploring the materials to build the sculptures, I wanted to focus on contrasting organic and geometric shapes because this juxtaposition creates a dynamic tension that evokes curiosity and engagement. I decided to include varied textures such as smooth plaster, rough wire mesh, and natural fibers to amplify the tactile quality of the sculptures.

I felt the work was not producing the desired results regarding cohesion between the elements, so I adjusted by integrating a unifying element—subtle color washes that tie the textures and forms together.

Dinner and a Movie

 Silence of the lamb

The mind of a genius

For this digital photograph, I used my artwork and plateware. It was inspired by the movie Silence of the Lamb and is heavily inspired by Hannibal. 

My intent with this artwork is to visually communicate themes of control, intellect, and the duality of civility and menace. Through deliberate choices in composition and symbolism, the piece explores the tension between refined sophistication and underlying violence. I utilized stark contrasts between light and shadow to emphasize the subject's enigmatic nature, with sharp, clean lines suggesting precision and control. The inclusion of elegant, minimalist details reflects a facade of cultured restraint, while darker, more chaotic elements hint at concealed brutality. By layering these visual cues, I aimed to capture the unsettling charisma of a figure who embodies order and chaos, inviting viewers to grapple with the interplay of humanity and monstrosity.
