Survival

There are periods or moments of pressure in everybody’s lifetime to the extreme that one would wish it no longer existed. These are the moments in life where one would feel desperate, uncertain or unbalanced because of the unusual sets of events.

In this sculpture, I portrayed an individual that is under that pressure (feet on top of a head) but he/she is trying to survive (head is half buried). In these periods one needs to make more effort, have extra support or have faith (the hand supporting the head) to overcome the situation because of one’s survival instinct. This shows the battles one faces in day-to-day life.
