As we mature, we all develop something called a persona, or the face we present to the world—a kind of façade we use for self-protection—and only a part of who we are. But consider all the other feelings, conflicts and less desirable impulses that are not represented. In The Geography of Descent series of sculptures, the ongoing strain of maintaining such a façade is beginning to slip and crack, and each figure is reacting to the loss—or the descent—in a different way.
