Mental Mark
98
My capstone project ‘Mental Mark’ began with a hypothetical 3D sculpture, one of the initial visual explorations in my thesis journey. This visual exploration was imagined as a part of the Trigger: Gender as a tool and a weapon displayed at the New Museum in 2018. The museum show was based on fluid and inclusive expressions of gendered identity. I created a sculpture with a reflecting surface where you can see yourself as a part of the exhibit itself. When you look into the sculpture, you can have the space to explore the idea of identity and gender and what that means to an individual. This exploration introduced me to look more into how I can invade a physical space, giving people a chance to stop and look at themself in a different context.
