Description from BAMS Student Medal Project XXXI 2024:
'My medal explores the cyclical nature of human sadness and how difficult it is to break away. I did research on the human experience and how it is presented in the media often. My work explores the human psyche and is a tool for me to explore my own experiences. I wanted to convey how our emotions can hold us hostage. Chasing freedom from pain can restrict us more than we bargained for'.
