I have an interest in examining what contributes to resilience in a person. The figures I create seek to visually represent common themes between people and what gives them hope or strength or keeps them going when they don't think they can. I use the surface to support this narrative by using drawing on the surface, color, texture and sometimes script. In this piece I wanted show the importance of a root system to an individuals sense of self-whether they get it from their family, people around them or whether they've built it themselves.
