A lot of things, mainly a garden, some random things of the right side that i cannot really tell what they represent.
The garden
I think he is trying to represent how the way of life is as there are many aspects from the bright garden to the dark place which maybe meant emotions. This artwork makes me feel a little overwhelmed as i am not sure which aspect of the artwork to focus on.
I think the artist wanted to represent the fantasy world as things in the painting are fictional.
He likes gardens.
Why so many parts to the artwork?
What was the intended message behind this artwork?
Every part of the painting tells me something different. There is something i can infer but i cannot seem to connect the message from all the parts to form one complete purpose of the painting.

Sketches - Circles and Bubbles, Pyramids, Organic Folds

very abstract, i like.
I shaded the shadow and the patterns. The idea is inspired by infinitely repeating circles and triangles like a hypnosis.

My Challenges: (30 words)
Some challenge i experience is that the wires are hard to bend even with tools especially the really thick ones. It is also hard to control the wires in terms of making the wire bend and stay in place. I also keep getting pricked by the small wires.
My Strategies to overcome them: (30 words)
By tying the wires better, i can avoid being pricked by the wires. To make the wire listen to you, just use more strength or hold the wire with other body parts. To bend the really thick wires, i can get help from external sources or utilise external sources like the table.
