What makes us different from every other living creature?...We know we are going to die. Being aware of our finite existence gives us the possibility to live our lives differently. I wanted to try to address the issue of aging in a single sculpture, and let this reality reflect back on the viewer their feelings about their own mortality.

Id

bronze
9" x 9" x 9"

$7,500

Freud believed that the Id is the part of our personality present from birth. It is our unconscious and contains our basic instinctual drives. I believe the Id is gradually suppressed and subjugated by our friends, parents, culture and society. I am constantly striving to tap into my "Id" and break out of the "box" that has formed around me.
