Memento: Leave the Nest
Materials: Metal Wire, Glass, Cloth
I constructed this memento as a reminder of the first time I left home to attend Berry College in 2015. Leaving home was a scary, yet relieving time for me as my home life was not always very stable. I used wire to construct the nest because, though it is secure, it can be cold and sharp, almost representative of prison bars. The cloth lining within the nest represents how our home, what we know, can act as a security blanket, even if we are somewhat trapped within it. The glass protruding from the nest represents myself- it's jagged edges representing that our home lives can mold us, but it's clearness representing that ultimately we decide what we choose to reflect as people. The glass protrudes out in many directions because, when first leaving, I had no idea where I would end up, but I was certain I wanted to break free.
