A sculptural exploration Pt.1

Third year. Art school. Semester 1. I mentioned in my 2-week ‘transition’ project about my struggles with hormonal conditions and illnesses.

They created the initial shapes by using the natural act of ‘pissing’ in snow. This is not something that can be completely controlled as […]
