Fabric, Rhinestone, Beads and Mirror on Wood
Narcissism captures Victor’s inner state, one of both infinite potential and destructive egoism. Consistent with this collection’s motif of sight, the wood base is in the shape of an eye. The center is embedded with cracked glass, symbolic of Victor’s personality fragmenting into states of mania and depression throughout the course of the novel. Yarn, beads, rhinestones, and moss surround it. While these materials all have positive and soothing associations, when arranged in this fashion they become intentionally disturbing, reminiscent of decomposition. Through such visual disturbance, we're reminded to look inward. Victor, once a promising and talented young man, is decayed and corrupted by his unending narcissism.
