My personal experience that I want to incorporate into my sculpture is biking across the United States, from Astoria, OR to Boston, MA. When I think back to my trip, I think of all the trees and forests that I bike through, and biking through empty tree-lined roads through the mountains of the western United States, especially in Colorado. The country was beautiful, and the scenery was so unique spending on the region I was in. Sometimes there were green trees, yellow cornfields, foggy mornings, and at times freezing and windy conditions. The trip was also physically demanding and was the most difficult thing I have ever done. It required great physical and mental strength and has changed my perspective on how I view challenges in front of me. Since then, I have told myself that if I can bike across the country I can do anything. I at times felt exhausted, but also extremely proud of what I had accomplished. When I reflect back, I feel extremely happy about my trip, as I remember how joyous I was throughout, and how happy it made me. It was such a unique experience to be able to see the United States by bike and to experience it on such an intimate level.
