2d to 3d

For this project we were given the instructions to change a 2D surface -something all are so used to seeing- to a 3D work. There were recent events at this point with commissions coming in and so many classes wanting me to copy other artists and only hint at my own artistic identity that it felt as though I had no real creativity of my own. Everything was mimicry and I was not an artist.So to draw from my lack of creativity I decided to portray 3 pictures of myself breaking free from the mundane cycle of copy-catting and into the world. These are the finished products of said project.
