Foundations
The most important part of your body is the foot. Without it you would not be standing.
‘Foundations' is an exploration of the shattering effects anxiety has in an dysfunctional or unsafe environment. When home lacks the feeling of comfort and security it can evoke shattering feelings of panic, restlessness, and estrangement.
The work expresses the foundation of home through the use of a blueprint. The blueprint represents the comfort found in a safe environment and the glass shards represent the uncomfortable and broken spaces that originate from dysfunction. At a young age my family made a contrasting move from one house to another that severed my concept of home. The work as a whole strives to piece together the fragments lost in order to rebuild my foundation of home.
