3d paper object work pt2

I found the process of making the paper flower challenging, but rewarding. It is a meaningful part of the final outcome for me, as it is based on a glass flower ornament my grandmother gifted me when I was younger. I wanted to have a personal element from my own conflicting identities be represented in a reimagined way- by making this flower from prints showcasing a narrative about not being able to show your whole self to those you care about, I was able to connect this concept to something in my own life without just using the object itself.
