The artwork was created to symbolize one’s fear of change. Whether from a physical standpoint or the fear of changes in our daily routines, my character seeks to reject and destroy every new change in her life, only to realize that this path causes her more harm than acceptance. As she hits rock bottom, a flower blooms from her deepest wound, symbolizing resilience and the possibility of beauty amid chaos. This transformation conveys the message that change is an essential part of life and that even in the darkest moments, something beautiful can emerge\u2014reminding us that everything happens for a reason. My chosen concept of \u201cCyclical time\u201d is inspired by Alan Lightman\u2019s Einstein’s Dreams, where one\u2019s dream explores a world where time is a cyclical being, repeating itself endlessly over and over again. This notion resonates deeply with my artistic statement, as it mirrors the character\u2019s struggle against change and her eventual realization of the importance of acceptance. In Einstein’s Dreams, the cyclical nature of time suggests that past experiences are not merely forgotten but instead recur, offering opportunities for reflection and growth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":18467,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18464","student-work","type-student-work","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-time"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
