The one on the left definitely captures and makes the sense the most. The alligator one goes good with the deep feel as they live in the waters. The filthy one doesn't match as much, but still the words could contradict the photo.

I am a chair. Topped with cushions, fabrics, and all the cat hair in the world, I sit on my wooden leg stands tucked into the corner between the window and the bookshelf. I like my spot, it feels especially warm and cozy when the sun hits my coffee-stained seat as the owners cat rests happily atop my armrest. Speaking of my owner, I hear the familiar shuffle of her bunny slippers across the hardwood making her way over to my corner. Suddenly, a pressure plops itself down onto my cushions. She messes with the placement of my pillows for a moment before finally settling down and cracking open a book. After a while, the cat wanders its way over too. I am a chair, and I am content.

my personal favorite piece of hers :)
For our project, Taylor, Lexi and I wanted to highlight the concept of inevitable harm, the idea that something could be jumping straight out at you conveying harm and could still be ignored. There is harm that surrounds us everyday, and we are none the wiser to it. Going off of the theme of ignorance, our installation project could also be viewed as a mockery of safety tools, given the site of the installation and its surroundings.
