Memento





Artist Statement:
For this piece, I made a small triangular pyramid with a cube inside. I chose these two shapes for their similarities to dungeons and dragons dice and for the number of sides on them. I  then filled the area between the two shapes with baby oil. This piece represents my experience staying at Flagler College during Hurricane Irma. The clear walls of my momento represent the many windows surrounding the dining hall of Flagler, which is where I spent most of my time. The number of sides represents how there were ten of us who stayed during the hurricane and the shapes represent how we spent most of our down time playing dungeons and dragons as we were not allowed to wander around outside or go to our rooms. The baby oil between the two shapes represents the storm that was going on all around us with the cube in the center remaining dry inside to show how we stayed safe and dry throughout the storm.
