This piece represents the stresses I feel when having to perform perfectly and to a certain standard throughout my college career. The hourglass is the component of time and pressure with constant due dates and the stress of finishing on time, and the hand is showing how I am being controlled by outside elements. The diamonds are representative of perfection and are placed below me to indicate that I am not always perfect and the flowers are signifying my growth and overcoming the things I struggle with. I wanted to emphasize the concept of feeling stuck and encapture how stressful and difficult this journey can be.
