"Sister" Series











Finally posting up this sculpture series that I completed a couple of months ago for my AP portfolio!
The central idea for this series revolves around the existence of possibility and how it is especially present in early ages and each concept is inspired by certain childhood memories and games shared between my sister and I. 

Just to paraphrase the description I wrote for the submission requirements, "As you grow older, it becomes increasingly more difficult to find possibility in everyday life without questioning its validity. Though this sense of rationality and conclusive thinking is a natural part of self-growth, I wanted to further explore the mindset of adolescents who have the effortless ability of seeing things larger than life. Using a mixed medium of sculpture and digital painting, this series intends to imitate a feeling of adventure and unfiltered joy that is commonly expressed by those at a young age. The focus is not on the time that passes but the exploration of the world around them through their eyes. By making this sense of exuberance and creativity the primary focus, this series is not so much about a chronological growth as it is a celebration of the past."
