Almost a year has past since I made my one second video. It really makes me thankful for the little moments that mean so much. 

All of our life experiences impact us in a unique way, and build up to make us who we are today. No matter how devastating a life event may be there is a way to benefit and grow from the experience. This is reflected in the fabric that I used. I decided to only use material that was second hand and donated. These articles of clothing have been used, torn, stained, or are just plain ugly and are now unwanted. Life has not been kind to these pieces, so I tore the fabric down even more and build it back up to give it a new purpose and meaning. Each flaw was important in its presence in the piece.
