dc.description.abstract	Growth Spurt is a sculptural installation that examines the parallels between human life cycles and the growth cycle of plants. Just as plants require all four elements to survive and undergo constant change, each part of the exhibition represents a stage in the process of human transformation and evolution. We all experience change in our lives, but in different ways and at different times. This work is interwoven and connected in a nonlinear timeline, reflecting the intertwining of my artwork and personal journey of growth.
