The holidays is a time when we are reminded of all the things that has passed us by through the years. It is a time where we recall all the people and events that have significantly affected our lives, and let go of all the things that hold us back. Despite whatever, Christmas will always be a day of love and gratitude and the epitome of the Christmas spirit can be found in a tradition that we’ve always anticipated since when we were kids, the Christmas tree.
The beauty of the Christmas tree is not measured by how much it costs or how big it is but by the memories that surround it. It is a representation of the family or the person that built it and this unconventional Christmas tree, is a representation of me.
One of the elements of this tree is the looping bronze wire that is inspired by one of my other projects The Void (https://chelsiebydesign.wordpress.com/2016/10/07/void/). This represents the life changing event that still defines who I am today and after all, we are products of our own experiences.
The bottom part are shards of a broken disk that aims to reflect images around it to remind me of the importance of self reflection and self discovery.
The soul of this unconventional Christmas Tree lies not on its ornaments or height but on what it represents; the recollection of memories, experiences, and growth.
