The first sculpture I made was based off of the richness and excess that we can encounter in DS's films. Most protagonist women in the these films are quite wealthy or privileged and then have to deal with a tragedy getting in the way of their picture perfect life and from there figuring out how to overcome these challenges.
With the frail and precious oyster with as the symbol for the good life, femininity and fertility. Something disrupts this and changes the trajectory. In my sculpture I used the spiral to symbolize things going out of control.
The next sculpture I created touches on the symbols for relationships and romance and the expectations that are created for this in the DS narrative. It's the way the females in the novels totally surrender to love and sometimes loose themselves in the process and the comfort it brings but then also the complexity it can create for them later. We see in a way how life isn't a dance on roses as we say in danish "livet er ikke en dans på roser"
