In my mixed-media sculptural assemblage, disembodied fragments of a figure leaping over a high jump, contemplate the hurdles one faces in both art and life. Composed of the experimental and crumbling process materials used to cast a resin figure, each remnant a metaphor for the diverse challenges artists confront. Adhesive transparencies of Rainbow MRI images are a canvas for various art mediums I've explored, symbolising the diverse skills gained through perseverance. This assemblage symbolises the struggle to start an art career, yet it also reflects newfound capability, inspired by my participation in the Ancher Points Program. This transformative experience shattered the notion of sticking to a niche for success and relinquished me from the oppressive grip of perfectionism. Now, I embrace a vast array of mediums and forms of expression, realising that my diverse interests contribute to a well-rounded, continuously evolving artistic journey. This piece encapsulates the resilience and growth achieved by leaping into the unknown and transcending perceived limitations.
