CAPSTONE PROJECT
AND SO, CONTINUE: THE FORCES THAT DRIVE US
My work showcases contained emotion, it revolves around narratives of unfair situations where the subjects demonstrate a lack of control. I use animals as symbolism for relationships between people, themselves, and the forces that drive our emotions. The subjects I use are often put in less-than-ideal scenarios. The narrative put in place is personal, and yet I hope that those who interact with these pieces understand the main themes.
