This piece is part of a series called 'Let Go.'

While making this series, I felt like a scientist. I made interesting observations about how the pieces would fall, noticing resistance, weight, and other physics principles. One particularly interesting observation was how pieces gravitated towards each other, forming clumps with a magnetic pull. Halfway through this piece, all the materials gathered along opposite sides of the matboard, creating two distinct worlds. Finally, one piece fell between them, connecting them physically. This process revealed unexpected patterns and connections, illustrating the beauty of randomness and the surprising harmony that can emerge from chaos.

More on the 'Let Go' Series:

Using a diverse array of collage materials, I enlist gravity's help to compose this series. After selecting my collage materials, I relinquish control and let them fall where they may—literally. In doing so, I suspend my thoughts and conditioned habits, resulting in outcomes more interesting than I could have imagined. Once the procedure is complete, I reclaim the power of assigning meaning, as we humans often do.

Much like life's journey, this series portrays a cycle of choice, chance, acceptance, and interpretation. I encourage viewers to spend time with the work, asking themselves: What could it be? What could it mean to me?
