The object I’ve chosen is a ceramic chicken used for decoration. The chicken is decorative and demonstrates people’s desire to personalize their spaces. The chicken reminds me of a farm and, by extension, the work that goes into taking care of animals. In addition, the chicken reminds me of Lunar New Years because different years are represented by different animals, including a rooster. Lunar New Year associates those born in a year of the rooster with being hardworking, confident, talkative, resourceful, and courageous. I may try to incorporate these associations into my project. I also think it would be interesting to relate my project to the phrase “running around like a chicken with its head cut off”, a metaphor meaning someone is acting chaotic and confused. I think this metaphor could be interesting to explore and incorporate into my sculptures.
