JJRibi01: Clay Study 1

2023 - 26x47"

A series of works exploring the plasticity of the human body.
The clay intervention symbolizes the self as raw material for a sculpture, a metaphor of our moldable nature, and the fear of the unknown.
The works appear distressing from afar, but on a closer inspection we learn about the poetry hidden within.
Upon a glance we’re often scared of the unknown, but when time is taken to understand, we discover unseen opportunities.
