my concept for this project actually changed a few days before the deadline. originally, i'd been thinking about using the image of a bird flying freely out of a cage to comment that the bird can only truly celebrate freedom after having experienced imprisonment.
but when i started thinking about tristeza, and how i've experienced it, i started thinking about tears and a kind of solitary sadness. i also started thinking about the kind of materials i wanted to use. i wanted there to be a softness, a kind of vulnerability to the material i used for tristeza, and so i ended up cutting up an old sweater i had gotten oil paint on a year ago. i also liked the idea of putting fiesta on something sturdy, and so i picked up some wood from kroeber.
everything just kind of came together on its own when i was working on this project, and i was really happy with the result and what i felt like each thing symbolizes.
