I got inspired to make an earthwork by scanning the materials surrounding me. I found the rose bushes outside of my house and realized the petals that have fallen are not being used, they are being wasted, so I decided to put them to good use. I thought making a heart would be artsy and creative. In the developmental stages, two friends and I gathered as many petals in good condition on the ground as we could find and arranged them as such. We started out too small, so then we gathered more to make a larger array. I wanted to use some petals that are not all perfect and in good condition because it represents that human hearts, no matter how nice, are never fully pure. I explored new mediums and did something new that I've never done before. I developed art making skills by gaining skill with familiar materials. As mentioned before, I have seen these petals frequently and always wondered if they could be used for good, so I made something. I collaborated in the art community by asking my two friends to help me. I reflected and analyzed my art by refining and changing the final piece along the way. The purpose was to stray from the original purpose a little bit, and show more ambiguously that all good things never last by not preserving my art piece for use.
