Throughout life, one may go on a rollercoaster of different emotions and feelings We experience them from happiness, sadness, or anger, but what could that feeling look like visually? My work is a representation of how I interpret those emotions throughout my mind I combine abstract forms and realism throughout my artwork to match certain feelings and emotions that many experience My work is primarily in the sculpture medium, the technique I work with most is mold making. It gives me an opportunity to push the material, giving those emotions and feelings a chance to come to life. I use a range of materials such as alja safe, cement, plaster, epoxy, metals, and found objects Being able to explore many different materials allows me to create feelings within my work Color and texture play an important role in my work It allows my pieces to fully reach the emotions and feelings that are felt in a 3-dimensional form. I use my personal experience with anxiety as inspiration I believe we all have gone through both dark times and good times, which is why I find it important to represent those feelings, so one may feel less alone
