Something worth saving

The artwork "Something Worth Saving" is not only a visual art but a deeply personal narrative. It represents the artist's journey of returning home after five years away, illustrating the emotions involved in reconnecting with family.

The flexible structures in the piece, resembling growing strings, symbolize the connections that remain strong despite time and distance. They represent the enduring bonds of family and the stability found in different places – both the artist's childhood home and the new life built abroad.

The gradient from pink to purple is significant. Pink, at the top, might represent the warmth and nostalgia of homecoming, while the deepening purple could signify the maturity and growth experienced during the years away. The artist's personal growth is reflected in the color transition of this sculpture. 

The sense of grasping or feeling out conveyed by the piece reflects the experience of reconnecting with a familiar yet changed environment. It captures the delicate balance between the comfort of home and the slight disorientation of returning to a place that has evolved in one's absence.

The process of creating this piece involves carving, hand-sculpting, sanding, multiple layering of drywall mud and plaster, priming, painting with a spray gun, hand-painting touch-ups, and additional handmade replicas of pearls.

Medium: drywall mud, plaster, acrylic wall paint, mica powder, varnish, and interior wall paint.
