2018. 8 X 7 X 6". CAST BRONZE AND SLATE.

Bronze, direct burn-out, of snow cone cups. An exploration of the beauty in deterioration. Mental health has the power to detrimentally wear us down and wither us to the core. There is such anxiety associated with the fear of one's mental history becoming exposed openly. Yet, there is something truly magnificent that transpires when one accepts their true vulnerability and embraces their insecurities. The negative stigmatism associated with mental health struggles inhibit the ability to see the strength, grace, and beauty that firmly emerges from conquering one's inner demons as well as from embracing the battle wounds or scars that remain from one's victory.
