Since I was little, I have self-soothed and reconnected to my inner spirit by physically tapping on my sternum. My infatuation with the ribs and chest plate in both myself and other people is rooted in my personal fixation with the protection of the mind, body, and spirit. The rigid nature of bones can be regarded as a cage or as a reliquary for the central organs of the body. When prompted to create a sculpture representing an extended or reinvented part of the body, I immediately decided upon conjuring a reinvented version of my own ribs and sternum.<\/p>\n

Soft sculpture gives me the freedom to literally and figuratively soften the rigid form that protects my vital organs and my breath. The significance of the newly flexible bones allows for deeper, more controlled breath in the moments I find myself panicked and hyperventilating. Not only this but reupholstering my ribs in a softened white fabric emulates the cozy, welcoming essence of a comfort object. I retained the color white, however, to reinforce the spiritual homage I make to my Inner Mother\u2013who I revere archetypally through the characteristics of the moon. In the ways that the moon represents a shadowy, poetic embodiment of a mother, my intention was to channel the feminine nature that founds my existence.<\/p>\n

To bring this piece into physical form is to honor my higher self\u2013to construct a sacred reliquary for my soul. Transcending the philosophical confinements of the human body, my rib sculpture craves nothing more than reminding me to have radical self-acceptance and love.<\/p>\n
