When starting this piece, I wanted to create a small environment that could represent the things that go through my head in a given amount of time. As I started paying attention to and noticing my thoughts, I quickly realized that this would be a difficult subject to illustrate or make a small installation of, one may say, “a beast” of an idea to tackle.

With this thought I decided to create a beast of my own. Lately, as most people do, I have been going through a lot, juggling a lot, and thinking about all of it even more. I decided to make my beast a dragon. I used mannequin head to clearly represent that this is what is going on inside of one’s (my) head. I created a small castle to represent my home or my soul. Depending on how one may be feeling, or looking at it, the dragon could be protecting the castle, or it could be about to destroy it. For me, it depends on the day.
