Artist Statement

This piece of 3D art reflects the idea that beauty can be found within imperfection. The artwork was created using what most people would consider trash- materials such as cardboard, wire, dead branches, and aluminum foil. It symbolizes how what is seen as "trash" can come together to create something meaningful. These imperfections represent our own individuality, showing it is our flaws and differences that make us unique. The tree in the artwork is a metaphor for people who support us, and shelter us throughout our beautifully imperfect journey.
