Bound explores the expectations young girls learn to build about the clothes they wear. Many girls dream of their wedding dress long before they’re interested in boys. Expectations may help make dreams come true but they can also thwart those dreams.
In 2019, Bound was awarded 2nd place in 3D Media at the Eric Fischl Vanguard Showcase, Eric Fischl Gallery, Phoenix, AZ and was on display at Phoenix Art Museum, Phoenix, AZ for the Eric Fischl Vanguard Lecture.
