In my latest piece, I chose to focus on the impact that incarceration and its intended consequences have on our mental health. A constant theme in many of my works is my use of circles. Circles carry both positive and negative connotations. They can symbolize unity and perfection. But they also embody things that are cyclical and never-ending. The ambiguity isn’t more clear in this piece. The ball and chain have long been symbols of imprisonment; weighing a person down so much, the desire to run isn’t an option. The ball in this case represents our minds and thoughts. So even after we are no longer physically incarcerated, it has a lasting impact on our minds as the circle wrapped around the prison bars and our identity as women. I purposely used dark colors in contrast with pink because prisons aren’t designed for women at all and our gender and special needs are often forgotten.
