Emergence

Model: fellow CFA first-year
Portrayal of emergence: “the process of coming into view or becoming exposed after being concealed.” The pearls represent something new growing and emerging, as they come into being by irritation of the inside; the inside turmoil makes them into what they are. The ribcage is representative of being stripped of your skin, of feeling raw, open, and exposed. Only when we are exposed and vulnerable to external forces can we fully develop and come into being as our true selves.

A portrayal of how I see myself in the form of a functional teapot. I view myself as a sharp force (the spikes on the teapot): intense, fervent, and sometimes brash. However, I have a more steady and conscious side that holds that back (the chain-rings around the spikes). I wanted to emphasize the strained push-and-pull feeling of reaching out and being restrained.

Breaking down body dysmorphia. We are trained to use small bodily imperfections as markers for general beauty.

Beauty isn't found by simply creating and combining the most perfect version of each facial feature.
