DISTORTED REALITIES
Shaped by outside forces, seeking a fragile balance.
The Distorted Realities stand on their own, yet remain precariously balanced.
They reflect the challenge of adapting to change while retaining a sense of who we are.

WHEN REALITY BEGINS TO SHIFT
These sculptures emerge within a fleeting interval.
The resin must remain just fluid enough to flow downwards, while the hardener determines how much time remains before the form sets.
Of the 196 sculptures, only two became Distorted Realities. Both stand on their own legs, yet their balance remains fragile.
Their creation offers a metaphor for lives shaped by changing circumstances, expectations and rules imposed from outside. We adjust to work, relationships, cultures and responsibilities. Sometimes that flexibility helps us grow; sometimes we bend so far that we struggle to recognise ourselves.
Their strength is adaptability. Their challenge is finding enough stability to remain themselves while circumstances keep changing.
Their question is: Where do I need to adapt — and what must I preserve to remain true to myself?
The Guardian can offer wisdom about boundaries; the Sage can help distinguish what can be influenced from what must be accepted. You may choose another archetype whose qualities support your own search for balance.
Your sculpture gives form to that tension: the person you wish to become, the forces acting upon you and the footing you are trying to find.
