Statement

I, Decotas Powell, plan to walk forwards and backwards with my wearable sculpture on Main street crosswalks.

I shall dance in the middle of the crosswalks for 10 seconds.

I will do this ten times but it will be different crosswalk not the same one.

Final Project

The metaphor for the  dream that me and Mikki picked was  "How would you spend your time if you knew it was limited?"

The story describes how people are constantly worried about time and focusing on their shadows. In the end, these people feel empty about how they spent their lives.

So we needed to come with a composition way to show it so  we decided to paint on black paper instead of brown paper. The shades of blue, turquoise, gray, and peach that go across the painting are to show from birth to death. On top of the painting, we went with five life-sized silhouettes, from childhood to old age to show what hides behind the shadows for the viewer.
