The first sculpture is about plus-sized bodies in society. I wanted this piece to recognize the words used by society to put fat people down while showing body acceptance. The base was painted black, then painted hateful words in dark grey so that “I AM WORTHY” was the overall message and stood out against all the other words. The crown represents beauty pageants and societies’ beauty standards, and it was placed on top of the bust’s head to state that we’re all beautiful and worthy of love. The second piece, anxiety erasing, is about ADHD and how anxiety slowly drains the creativity and beauty out of the person. White is sterilizing and represents how hopeless an individual may feel while experiencing anxiety, unable to recognize the beauty in being different and unique.
