Being a “creative” individual has an extensively diverse amount of interpretations of the general public, and arguably being so broad a term that it is almost fundamentally undefinable.

I proved to myself through the creation of this sculpture, that I have proficiency in more than just the domain of dance, and that even though it was a risky option for me to create something outside of my area of highest aptitude, I succeeded. Another reason this project demonstrates a strength of mine in creating a tangible metaphor for the confusion and conflicting ideas that cover this campus. Similarly, the concepts tied together in this project feature my capacity to handle ambiguity. Despite the fact that each piece of this sculpture has a meaning, nothing automatically defines itself, which allows the viewer to draw a lot of different conclusions relating to various types of symbolism. My lack of courage in my convictions shows through in that I asked several different people in my class, and otherwise about their thoughts on this idea because I was worried that it was too peculiar or unconvential.
