This piece was created from maquette box of found and recycled objects. It is a close up view of broken glass, a bandana, and Spanish moss, which investigates the way the psyche transforms unfamiliar and abstracted shapes and colors into impactful and familiar images. The image was rendered from both life and imagination, and making it provoked memories of a place buzzing and full with vivaciousness, creatures, and noise.
