This overly large teapot, which comes in at two feet tall, seems to dominate the space it occupies, much like the overwhelming responsibilities I face daily. The handle of the pot looms over the lid, symbolizing the constant struggle I have to maintain control over my life, with certain aspects asserting more power than I wish. The twin lips on the spout appear soft and full, yet they open wide as if shouting orders at others, reflecting the demands and expectations that constantly press upon me, urging me to act, to fix, to redo. I see myself reflected in the exaggerated size of the teapot, a metaphor for how I sometimes feel overwhelmed by responsibilities that seem to tower over me, making me feel small and powerless in comparison. The tiny holes scattered over the pot symbolize the nagging duties that I have to redo repeatedly—small, persistent, and ever-present—trapping me in an endless cycle of chores and obligations. These elements of the teapot embody my internal experience of grappling with these duties, highlighting the tension I feel between a desire for control and the chaos that often engulfs me. The dominance of the teapot over the space mirrors my internal struggle to maintain balance, while the shouting spout and tiny holes represent the relentless demands that threaten to drown out my own voice. This piece is a reflection of my ongoing battle with responsibilities, capturing the complex emotions of frustration, overwhelm, and the yearning for control amidst the chaos of daily life.
