Self is a sculpture; the representation of the volume that my body displaces in its most compact form; devoid of identifying and individual characteristics, a perfect generic cube.

Burnished with a white enamel paint, this sculpture has refined edges; sharp and crisp lines defining the extent of its form in space while subtly reflecting the surrounding environment and blending in.

To determine the dimensions of the cube, I filled a bathtub with water and marked the waterline before and while I was submerged underwater. I used these measurements for calculations to determine the displaced volume of water in cubic inches to extrapolate the cubic root for the length of the sculpture’s sides in inches.
