It was a challenge for me to create this piece since I am a graphic design major and have little experience with sculpture, mainly being what I've done in class. It was also a nice because after I completed the piece it, I could see how much I have changed since I started the class. For this piece, I had several ideas, one of them being that I wanted to section off a corner of the room and do the same thing but as a whole body experience, or that I was gonna design a bigger box and have a projection inside of it. But time, materials and transportation helped shape the piece into what it is. I am interested in continuing to explore this sort of theme and type of work in the future and to find a way to incorporate it into my graphic design work.

I decided to build two boxes instead of one, because I felt my narartive wouldnt be the same with just one box. I wanted to make everything more complicated and disturbing for the viewer or person interacting with it. That is why I decided to cover my boxes with mirror, which reflects the environment around it and also changes it wirh everything being reflected off of it. Covering the...
