I Full

"I Full" depicts the self as a mosaic, intricately assembled from the fragments of past experiences. It shows us that every piece, whether bright or broken, is essential to the final picture of who we are.

The sculpture is a giant eye on slender legs, and its title is a play on words. It’s a statement about seeing and feeling ("I feel"), but it's also literal: the eye is full of hidden lives and stories from my past work.

This concept is embodied in its very creation. As an artist dedicated to minimizing waste, I collected the discarded remnants of my work for nearly three years—the designed out, bad fits, cutouts, and fragments. When the scrap boxes were full, this accumulation of material became a work of its own. I pieced these remnants together like a mosaic, and this collection of my artistic past became the art.

Fun Fact: The sculpture contains over 40 hidden faces (not including infants), 14 puzzle pieces, at least 14 hearts, 4 babies, 2 embracing couples, one large high heeled shoe, and multiple lips and hands.
