I think I am done! After fiddling around with my sculpture for a bit, I have finally decided that I like the, as Coach phrased it, "angsty little balls" without any other embellishments because I found that they distracted from the spheres and I wasn't a huge fan of how the pieces that I worked on and were fairly proud of, sunk into the background to other, machine-made, elements. I don't think my original content fits my design and so I've shifted it a little. While it still deals with people, it focuses more on the pressure students face to do well in school and grow up to become successful individuals in society. I think that this stress really does have a lasting effect on younger minds, leading to mental health issues as they grow up and generally less appreciation for the joy in life. In my piece, which I'm thinking of calling Turbulence or something along those lines, it can either represent one individual as they grow up and yet still live with the effects and pressures that they experienced as a teen or young adult, or to represent members in society who all are under a lot of pressure to do well, either in school or in their jobs. While it is up to each viewer to interpret my piece to their liking, I think that I am going to generally convey the message that this is about one person who is living with the lasting effects of our educational system and industrial society as they grow up because I feel that it has a stronger effect to convey the extent of how much a person can be affected from these factors.
