more shocking art.

I made my project. After a giant mess, and way too many hours of working on it, I got it done. To be honest, it's not exactly my favorite. It sends a clear message, but I don't know how shocking it is...Also, I only made one lung. I ended up cutting the styrofoam wrong, so I just went with it. My mom has one big mass in one of her lungs where the cancer began. I guess it makes it more significant because it really only took one lung to change my mom's life. So that made it more personal. But, I wish i could have found a way to make the lung look really gross and like really realistic, or I wish that it would have looked really not realistic. It just looks like both.... Like I kinda tried to make it look realistic, but it just turned out like a black blob that could be mistaken as a rock. I just feel that it doesn't look intentional, and had it been one of those extremes, it would have turned out better. Also, I decided to add a picture of my mom on the lung to make the piece more personal. As I was sticking the picture on, I had the thought that I should have put the picture in the spot where the cancer originated, but it was too late. :( Anyway... that's it.
