the joy within

These photos are of the clay model. The sculpture is currently at the foundry, in preparation for bronze casting.

This sculpture is intended to symbolize the joy that comes from within oneself, without the need for external affirmation. I believe this is a critical step toward self-actualization, the end goal of us all. The figure is intentionally off-balance to depict motion, as if in the middle of a dance and the lines between the sheer cloth and the figure’s skin are ambiguous to symbolize a confidence amidst vulnerability. Dance because you want to dance… and while nobody else is looking.
