In this work various different materials, 
shapes, colors, and textures come 
together to create a roughly 
human-sized complex and detailed 
physical structure mirroring our own 
expansive self- perceptions of 
ourselves. This sculpture is meant 
to be explored fully by walking 
around it and viewing it from all 
sides and angles. 

Different semi-translucent materials
 are used as what I call 
“Objects of Obfuscation”, 
whose purpose is to obfuscate, 
or obscure the view to a true inner 
object or being. In the case 
of this sculpture the inner ceramic 
object is representational 
of the true “inner-being”, 
while the Objects of Obfuscation 
are representative of both the 
walls and layers we metaphorically 
create around ourselves, knowingly 
or unknowingly, to shy away from 
the pure gaze of our outside world; 
and also the layers of subjective 
altered-perceptions those in 
our external world place upon 
us, again, knowingly or unknowingly
.
