About a third of the way through my life, I realised that my thoughts were becoming more and more chaotic, cloudy and uncertain, and that everything and everyone around me was flowing like a river, except for me, who stayed in place like an unwieldy stone. It was also at this moment that I realised that I should communicate more with myself, reconcile with myself and understand myself. So I wanted to make a set of sculptures to remind me of the importance of embracing myself.
