Reflection Statement:
The three sculptures as a collection helped me explore different ideas through material, shape, and balance. While making them, I learned how each material behaves and how much problem-solving goes into getting a form to look the way you imagine it. “Falling Into Rust” taught me how layering and texture can communicate age and change by the way the modge podge dried , while “Jaws Awake” pushed me to use sharp lines and stronger structure to create tension and movement. “Drift and Balance” helped me understand how wood and string can create a sense of stability, even when a piece feels slightly unstable. Together, the sculptures showed me how materials can express emotion and ideas without needing realism. This process made me more confident in experimenting, adjusting, and trusting the visual language of form, texture, and space.
