I created a piece of wearable art, specifically a choker necklace, to demonstrate the relationship between bandages and jewelry. Through the juxtaposition of the imagery of wounds and the adornment of the body I explored the relationship between the beautiful and the grotesque. By synthesizing the bandage and the beads, I constructed new meaning by portraying a wound as jewelry, allowing the viewer to reflect on what is part of their body and what is adornment.

Creativity is a tool to express myself. It allows me to explore my identity and emotions in a freeing way. I love utilizing creativity in sculpture especially because I can see my creativity come to life in 3D.
