I’m not even sure about the direction I’m taking now. It’s far from my original idea, but I’m definitely more excited about this.

Right now, it probably just looks chaotic and all over the place, but after the last critique, I realized I’m still not finished revisiting my childhood, so here I am.

This semester, I feel like I’ve taken on more than I’m comfortable with, and I’ve had some trouble focusing and landing my ideas. But I think this body of work makes me feel more at ease; it feels like a safe space.

I’m adding a vase on top of the head, but I’m running into some size constraints because the bun on the figure is a bit narrow. I’m a little unsure about making a vase with a really skinny base. Anyway, the images on the vase will be reliefs: at the bottom, my sister and I posing on the staircase that led to the third floor of our house in the Dominican Republic, and at the top, a moment I shared there with my grandpa, mom, and aunt. I’m not sure yet if I’ll include all five people; I’ll most likely have just three.

Overall, I finally feel back on track and excited about what I’m making.
