Artist Statement:
The sculpture collection reflects my perception of the short story The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. Within this story, there were countless references towards pain, isolation, and imprisonment. All of which contribute to the overarching idea of being condemned to a space that once provided comfort. The protagonist, Gregor, is seen as a weak individual who is incapable of standing up for himself. This unfortunately is his ultimate demise as he is confined to his bedroom, where he slowly sinks into insanity. Due to this, little to no color was incorporated within the piece. The dark, almost eerie appearance of the furniture was to emphasize no escape, the subtle hints of brown suggest decay. Gregor is represented as an abstract form as a means to suggest he is nothing - a worthless suggestion of space.
