Well, it’s technically done! After initially planning on only extending the invitation to participate to the Maggie Walker community, I realized that I would just simply not receive the amount of involvement I was looking forward. So, I posted the link to the Google form (the one I created for people to fill out) on Facebook, my Instagram, and sent it to numerous family members. I received a grand total of 56 submissions. I copied and pasted them onto a Word doc, changed the font to one that seemed fitting for my content, and then printed them. I cut the responses into slips and folded them so that they could fit better within the apple. I also sculpted a new stem and sprayed painted it in gold, then dipping in flakes of gold glitter. I am pleased with the outcome of this project. I have dedicated a lot of my own time (outside of class) to ensure the completion of my sculpture before the deadline. However, I am still contemplating a title... I feel like there is just too much content in the holistic process and product of the sculpture to confine a simple name. I struggle with these sorts of decisions because I am so nervous that I will immediately regret my choice and spend an indefinite amount of time wallowing in my ineptitude. So, how do I overcome this insecurity of my own to give a name to a project which literally embodies the insecurities of over fifty anonymous people? (Do you notice the depth of content yet??) Anyways, I became more and more enamored by my embryonic concept as I continued to sculpt, design, and reflect. This project coincided with some very emotionally draining experiences in my personal life, so it has offered me an outlet for these feelings, not to mention inspired me to empathize with the suffering of others. I hope to continue expressing this thematic element in future projects because it is extremely important to me and possesses a multitude of perspectives to explore / express.

Ok, I see what you did here... maybe changed the date on this post so that it moves to the top - and add the word "FINAL" to this one, so we all understand that this is the finished product.
