My mask represents mental stregnth. The mind is the most interesting thing. I chose mental stregnth because everything requires the mind. The human mind is all powerful. If we believe in ourselves, we have the mental capability to aquire anything. If we tell ourselves we //can’t// do something, chances are we won’t. I knew that I wanted to do something about healing with my mask. The idea of the fish tank is that inside of us is internal stregnth, which is the most important. I had the idea of putting my mask inside a fish tank with the face showing and inside the fish tank would be the mind. My first fish tank was to big, and I dropped the idea of using the fish tank. Mrs. Ruggles helped me out and sent out an email to all the staff about a student needing a fish tank. Soon enough, I had a second fish tank. A fish bowl, rather, and it is perfect size. My face fits perfectly. I wanted to use mirrors in my fish bowl, but instead I found silver paper that gave of a tinted reflection. I was excited about my project when I finished it. I am not an artistict person, but taking art 1 has brought me to respect art, and enjoy it. I like the problem solving that comes with art, and the way we can send messages, such as, mental stregnth.
