Title: “Reflections: Exploring Self-Reflection
Teresa Wells’ original study drawing for the sculpture “Reflections” provides a fascinating insight into the creative process behind this captivating artwork. The ancient Greek myth of Narcissus inspires the sculpture and explores the timeless theme of introspection, inviting viewers to ponder the beauty and intricacy of self-awareness. Wells’ artwork delves into the profound psychological implications of self-reflection as depicted in Narcissus’ story. In the myth, the titular character becomes infatuated with his reflection in a pool of water, ultimately leading to his downfall. Through her sculpture, Wells prompts viewers to contemplate the delicate balance between self-love and self-destruction.
The original study drawing serves as the foundation for the sculpture, providing a blueprint for Wells to translate her vision into a three-dimensional form. With meticulous attention to detail and a deep understanding of human emotion, Wells brings the myth of Narcissus to life. She imbues her sculpture with a sense of reflective beauty and haunting melancholy. As viewers engage with “Reflections,” they are invited to confront their relationship with self-awareness and introspection. Through Wells’ evocative artwork, they are prompted to explore the complexities of identity and the profound impact of self-reflection on the human psyche.
