Title: Japanese Model
This piece was inspired by the beauty models tend to possess. It shows that while something or someone is beautiful on the outside, there are still flaws within. Using Cubism to distort the naturally beautiful face of the model symbolizes this for me.
Ubiquitous, omnipotent, a watcher of humanity, Bush Man is the keeper of sanity.

Words get in the way for me. Therefore, instead of a mouth, the woman has an elephant's trunk, representing the strength and peace I wish I had. The raven's wing also symbolizes strength. However, it's dual purpose is to symbolize freedom from the things that hinder me in life.

This piece represents the movement inside a machine, still or moving, that gives it a sense of purpose. The black and white gradation gives the old-fashioned or future reference. This piece can go either way for a person, interest, or purpose. |

Title: Flying High
This piece reminds me of the gods, gold representing the beauty and morality of the all-knowing. The airplanes represent security. There is someone or something flying high above you to keep you protected. The spinning sculpture symbolizes the gods' never-ending life--and to know at all times that we have a destiny.
This piece stands against domestic abuse. Its components represent the conceding and struggling from both sides.

This piece represents the importance of the separation of church and state. The eagle holding a scroll in its nest represents the government. The cross in the distance represents religion. They are distant from each other and are two separate entities.
