This piece speaks to the idea of becoming - the process of transformation. I layered the materials on top of each other to symbolize a sense of progress. Progress requires breakthroughs along the way. This led me to incorporate various incomplete elements such as shells, flowers, and a partial face - all of which are in a state of metamorphosis and becoming.

Since often artworks is treated like an autobiography, as it confesses an artist’s inner desires.

“Thought and languages are to the artist instruments of an art; vice and virtue are to the artist materials of an art.” -- The Picture of Dorian Gray

“Man is not truly one, but two.” -- Dr Jekyll

Stepping on her toes, the innocent entered her secret garden with an inquisitive mind. The garden, which she would visit every day offers her a space to meditate; it is also where the innocent would take on a journey to find treasure, and explore a world of happiness that belongs to her. Less did the innocent realize, a fairy -- being her staunch guardian, accompanies her throughout her curious adventure.

“Am I contented, am I the happiest person…” the innocent questioned while contemplating the guileless clouds in the sky, as if they reflected her unfettered spirit.

The fairy whispered to her with a musical utterance, “You are one of the happiest girl on this planes.” The innocent concentrated with a fanciful expression.

The fairy continues, “Your kind and determined nature and the pursuit of your passion make you joyful. Your everyday adventure is your process of chasing your dream. Believe yourself, all matters in this world possesses a capacity to be wonderful and blessed. You are a brave natured dream-chaser.” The innocent nodded and glanced back at fairy with shy wonder.
