Excess
"First and foremost, we have 'Excess' - everything I’ve lost, my literal baggage. This sculptural element weighs 100 kilograms, the amount I had lost at the time it was created. While the plain bag appears unassuming, it physically and emotionally holds a great weight. I intentionally created the bag with excess fabric that mirrors my excess skin externally, while simultaneously containing the equivalent weight of the excess I have lost."
