  2. Consider and clarify your topic

For this project I am interested in a few different topics (natural disasters, metamorphosis or change, ocean animals, the unknown, and imagination). All of these have been areas of interest for me, and I think I could somehow bring them all together into a collective sculpture or idea. I have always felt a deep connection with animals and nature. The ocean is a place of total unknown. We have only discovered a small percentage of the ocean and the things that live in it. Its intriguing to me to think about what is in there and what kind of change happens there. Change is something that I find interesting and challenging because everyone deals with change, and without it there is not growth. Going along with that, the unknown is linked because there is a lot of unknown things that happen during any sort of change or circumstance. There are a lot of things in life that are uncertain and are a result of change, which is not always positive or negative. Things like natural disasters etc. could be a good thing, but because of the unknown they are often though of negatively. With all of these ideas I have a point of departure for my sculpture that relates to something though provoking about the unknown.
