I decided to materialize my emotions and feelings stemming from adulthood.
Using wires and glass shards, I created a highly stylized human skeleton that represents my psychological state.
Unlike some other people, I only realized now, at almost twenty years old, that I was actually an adult. Maybe because I didn’t have time to process that reality until now. Until recently, I was mentally busy preparing for my high school graduation, entrance exams, and arranging accommodation in dormitories. And when I had all of that done, I was dealing with moving, a new environment, the floods, and then the start of the school year itself.
The installation on the blue velvet is intentional, symbolizing the glorified life my family thinks I live. Whenever I complained that something was difficult or mentally exhausting, they told me that I was independent, and that I had all the freedom I could wish for, so what about that could be harder than whatever anyone else was dealing with. And that constant anxiety and stress is just part of growing up.
So with this project I attempted to vent my feelings to maintain my mental health
