Artist Statement:

 

This was a personal piece. This is a piece about becoming an adult. First, I wanted to invoke a feeling of the ocean, a sense of time moving backwards and forwards, like waves.

 

The main character is coming of age and starting to understand that she can no longer hide behind her teddy bear. Her arm being behind her as if she’s protecting the bear symbolizes her moment of strength to be responsible for herself. She’s wearing a mask, as we all do, as we age and find that we must start to conform to larger society regardless of one’s own life experience. It was always my intention to leave it to the viewer to decide which side of her face was the mask.
