Description
This sculpture was the result of an assignment to create a personal color totem sculpture that included colors and objects that represent myself. This sculpture incorporates my favorite colors of burgundy, green, white and earth tones. It tells the story of how death and life are intertwined, which is a subject of great interest to me.
