This is the first sculpture project I've ever done. I continued on the themes I've been using this trimester of religion and the woman's form. The first is a garment that deals with religious women's garments and how they can suffocate in a very extreme way. The second is an abstract exploration of praying hands. The pedestal is also my own work - it only took me 14 hours but a good a experience nonetheless. I plan on reworking and expanding on these pieces for my final five collection.
