This piece shows a pigeon in a spotlight, closely surrounded by ribbon that twirls around its neck and mutilated foot. I was drawn to a pigeon as the subject because they can be found in any part of the world where people live, and they are something that I look for in every city I visit. I feel that not many people pay attention to these creatures in their everyday life, but I feel that they symbolize the common human experiences no matter where you are or where you are from. Similar to my piece "Anticipation", this piece is a reflection on growing up and coming into my own spotlight while also wrestling with the duality of trying to live my best/unique/authentic life and just being another person alone in this massive world.
