AMBIGUITY

Syllabification: (am·bi·gu·i·ty)

Pronunciation: /ˌambiˈgyo͞o-itē/

noun:

     uncertainty or inexactness of meaning in language:

Ambiguity touches our lives on a day to day basis. This performance challenges the notion of what we see figuratively isn't always equivalent to the materials we anticipate. When viewing a humanistic figure, one can imagine the internal anatomy - but when considering the material the form is composed of, the expectations based on aesthetics are disregarded and replaced with solely the material composition. In place of the joyous treats associated with the selected medium, the internal components were challenged by their literal expectation. This concept continues with the incorporation of the protagonist. Assuming the role of a beast of a similar aesthetic, the protagonist destroys the figure, though the reason is left unclear. Could the figure be an extension of the protagonist's self that they wish to destroy, or is the protagonist solely following the expected behavior one would anticipate when faced with the provided medium?

Artist Statement:

DEPARTURE
Syllabification: (de·par·ture)
Pronunciation: /diˈpärCHər/
noun:
      the action of leaving, typically to start a journey:

We are submerged by the art of routine. Our lives are constantly in a state of stability that when the unexpected arises, we are placed out of equilibrium. Departure was formulated as a response to the passing of a loved one. Organized by the five stages of grief, the events fostered within the composition serve as memorandums that commemorate the late individual. They are fragments of conversations and phenomenons that have been reinterpreted and are carried in place of their physical presence. This is how they shall be remembered.
