These sculptures are created based of my life’s experiences – mistakes I still need to "drain" and choices I've made that will continue to influence me. I cannot turn back time or undo what has been done, so I'm searching for a way to save myself from the despair I got myself in. While living in self-deception, I didn't see what I had available on this path – treasures locked behind thrice-nine keys. Each of these works is something sacred like a treasure I find along my journey. I believe, through my tripod figures, I'm learning to recognize and explore the darkness and light within me, and sculpture is also about the relationship between light and shadow.
