PIECES OF ME

“Pieces of Me” is a collection heavily inspired by the Kurt Vonnegut quote “Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt.” It serves as a time capsule of life before motherhood, mortgages, and adult obligations when I was simply just me. Through these iconic objects buried deep within me, I aim to create a visual experience that transports the viewer to a time when everything seemed vibrant and full of possibilities. This work not only represents the joy, creativity, potential, rebellion, and invincibility of youth but it also holds the people and places that have formed the earliest version of me. It is my hope that viewers can find solace and inspiration in the juxtaposition of innocence and complexity, as they immerse themselves in a world where everything was beautiful, even if nothing truly was without its challenges.
