This Piece is focused on my relationship with my dad. From childhood to now, who I am and the person I am becoming, for better or for worse, is because of my Father. I wanted to invoke the feeling of the early stages of adolescence and how bright it was. Now I still have that memory there with me, but I’ve grown to be so much more, and with that come complications and faults of mine. Things I don’t want to become and things I’m proud to be.

Sometimes I feel as delicate as this piece, and I hate that. It is a representation of my mixed emotions towards our whole relationship and how it's made me who I am today.
