Using impermanent materials: oil based clay, paper, and roots, I molded a life size bust of myself. The face retains a peaceful expression while the body is made out of growing orchids and roots. The cavity in the center of the chest, were breasts should be, alludes to a suppressed maturity. Except for the platform, the entire piece is painted black to reflect on the eventual decomposition of the piece and the body it represents.
