I wanted to give off the message of how society leaves there scars on your body. You become transparent almost, because you are not yourself. I proceeded to show this by making a torso out of clear tape, to show there is nothing left inside of you accept the markings of society that is. Paper boats is the symbol that I used to represent on how they are always there messing things up. There is a huge paper boat inside of this piece. The slashes on the body show the impact of what words can do to someone. I wrote harsh words around the slits to show how it got there and how it feels like. I also added a little embroidery to add more to it, this piece is more than something little which is how people are, they are so much more.
This is a picture of the back side of the piece
