Artist Statement:
The sculpture collection titled Campsite reflects my perception of the short story The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. The story reflects themes of clutter, quarantine, and humiliation. The story behind the theme, humiliation, is that Gregor used to be a high-ranked military officer but when he came back he had to be a traveling agent. This is why Gregor is represented as toilet paper in my project because his career went to s***. The theme of quarantine is represented by keeping the bed frame white because it looks like a sterile hospital room. Since he was locked in his room for such a long time, everything became a cluttered and disgusting mess. I represented clutter through the nasty green color of the mattress.

A Few of My Favorite Things

Image
     1. Adidas running shoes . Because I have to use them everyday for my runs. I usually use the same brand for running shoes, but recently I have been trying out new brands.          2. Pit Viper sunglasses . My favorite shades to wear when I'm out and about. They are the perfect sunglasses for going to the beach or riding around in the car.      3. Drumsticks . I love to play the drums and I need drumsticks to play. My favorite brand is Vic Firth because they are the best and have simple designs.      4. Airpod s. I use them everyday, anywhere I go. Listening to music and using them for phone calls is the two main things I use them most for.     5. Garmin watch . Just like my running shoes, I need to know how far I am running. Garmin is the best brand to have and I love using it on all my runs.
