Proposal Internal conflict while at a crossroads in life is the topic addressed in my series Twinings/Pinings. With the usage of black and white photography, I explore the stages of transition through Bridges’ Model and my own personal experience. As stated by its creator, William Bridges, transition “begins with an ending, and ends with a beginning.” Likewise, although my works exhibit a feeling of stress, there is always an underlying sense of optimism to each one. The basis of my work is sculpture consisting of teabags and copper wire; as a personal symbol of comfort, the tea bags are being manipulated by the presence of the wire, the interactions of which I have then photographed. With this series, I am expressing a range of emotions incorporated in the act of transitioning to a major change in life by examining and capturing the details within the sculptures.
