What if we could choose the form to live as insect or an animal ? Not limiting our choices to who, what, where, when? Letting my brain explore the option I find myself leaning towards being a duck! Will this make me happy? I picture a girl with bubbles on her head, se is gazing into space, her face is not as clear as it maybe should be. A grid is behind her making her seem more transparent, as if the grid is part of her face. The girl is placed on the bottom right of the canvas. The background grid creating the fading illusion is on the left. The grid represents the routine of life, being told what to be who to be and how to act, it is limiting the girl. The bubbles represent her inner thoughts, what could she be that would make her happier, and she thinks of a duck. There is a duck on the girl's shoulder representing her inner thoughts. The girl is a transparent figure floating between what she is and what she wants to be.

I think we are confused as to who we are and in attempt to figure out who I am, I experimented with different looks. I do not believe oneself should just be seen based on the appearance, however how we choose to display our looks can reflect our inner thoughts. From that I chose to experiment different looks on myself, and see what makes me comfortable and what feels right. I chose to display these images in a tripod and not any other shape. Because triangle is the strongest shape and this piece is a reminder to how strong I am and this confusion should not really affect it instead it should make me stronger.
