My focus within my artwork is destruction I have been working towards the idea of destruction and objects in ruins in my pieces and was unsure how everything all tied together because at some points while making, I did not know that it was about a form of destruction I objectively looked at destruction as a whole from metaphorical to actual and have shown various means of the concept throughout my pieces.

While I was working metaphorically, the main content of my work were objects that were made to last forever. Things such as buildings and people that seem permanent but all eventually fall to destruction of some sort. This turned into showing emotional destruction such as loss and mental stress. As the work I was creating became more literal, I began working

To Show Objects In All Stages Of Destruction

This being objects falling apart right before your eyes or things broken into pieces as to never be able to see it whole.

The idea of destruction has so many parts and can be broken down into a variety of meanings The work I make, though it has no meaning to convey that is set in stone, can become anything to the viewers Everyone has experienced destruction in their lives one way or another and are able to interpret the works as it connects to them These pieces are for everyone and can mean anything whether that be literal or metaphorical.
