This ceramic work is a homunculus: a small-scale representation of myself. This form of self-portrait exemplifies major attributes of my personality. I am flexible and strong, loving and open, but still vulnerable and fragile.
Exaggerated Qualities of Myself:
• Strong/flexible: gymnast backbend position
• Loving/open: exaggerated heart popping out of the chest
• Fragile/vulnerable: ceramic medium
