Over the course of the past year, I was initially an unwilling participant in what seemed to be a very challenging experiment. Being presented with an option of forced introspection, I found myself feeling boxed in, and encountering a new normal beyond my comfort zone, compartmentalizing every emotion I felt.

As an artist working in clay, my release was to become grounded with the material and the concept of containment.

The evolution of my boxes became a meditation, forcing me to become present and aware of making space within, in order to cultivate new growth from the dark interior.
