Sanctuary

Day 1

In my sculpture I used the meanings of the different plants around my backyard to symbolize different parts of my personality. The rose hip in the very center is for joyfulness.  The queen Anne's lace around it is sanctuary as in my inner piece of mind.  Around that is pine which symbolizes my strength both physically and mentally.  Around the pine is just some decorative leave from a bush I found.  The poplar leaves around that, however, symbolizes my sometimes lack of self confidence and loneliness, as well as my more bright side like artistic nature, organization and reliability.  Around that is oak leaves that symbolize the strength of my outside but on the inside I'm not so strong.  But on the very outer, the honeysuckle, symbolizes my affection and love for those I care about.  All the elements were found in my backyard including the stump!

Day 2

Oh no I got my feet in the shot!  Well on day two the wind blew most of the sassafras leaves off of the outer ring but the rest of it still seems pretty much in tact!

Day 3

Well the wind blew away more of the leaves that's for sure.  Other that that the poplar leaves and queen Anne's lace have begun to shrivel up.  I'm surprised on how well it's stayed in tact for the past 3 days!
