This piece is called simply “Tree”, resembling a Christmas tree. I know we haven’t even reached Thanksgiving yet, but the joy and excitement surrounding the holidays is beginning and I can not wait until December. I also strongly believe that Christmas music is acceptable any time of the year and that Justin Bieber’s Christmas album is probably his best album.

I named this sculpture, “Circle of Life” because to make this new sculpture’s form, I took away from what was already dead. I cut up a dying tree into smaller logs, which then created a circle ranging from tallest to shortest. Next, I found dying flowers around my house which allowed me to incorporate some sort of color and light behind and within the circle.

My nature sculpture is called “Change”. It reflects the seasonal change we are experiencing right now. I went outside and gather many fall leaves and twigs. I then wrapped all the twigs together to form a little nest for the ring of leaves and the ball of twine in the middle. I selected a leaf that I thought best resembles fall, a yellow leaf slowly changing colors, with a blend of red, orange, brown, and green showing the transition this leaf went through during this fall season. I then decided to light this leaf on fire to symbolize the transition from autumn into winter. The leaves are now falling off the trees, leaving them bare for winter.

This sculpture is called “social distancing”, and is my take on COVID and the isolation it has brought. I created it as a satire of current life, as it asks the question how far is far enough to be safe? I especially like how the sculpture kind of disappears from the back and just looks like a pile of leaves, adding to its isolation and hidden nature. On the other hand, there is a certain serenity to the piece and to being alone, which shows how some good can come out of the pandemic, which for me was in the form of pursuing my hobbies.

This piece is called bury leaves. And the reason why I made such a nature sculpture is yesterday I went outside, I found that the leaves have all fallen off the tree and the leaves become dry yellow. And the outside is very cold. So, I want to burg this dried leave and let it conserve energy for the new growth in the upcoming spring.
