The Decision Is Yours (2017) | 7′ x 1′ x 1′ (3) | Acrylic glass, wood, ceiling light diffuser panels, light

On February 28, 2017 my older sister, at 35 weeks pregnant, was unable to breathe and taken to the emergency room where they discovered she had a mass the size of a grapefruit in her chest. During this time, when my sister was in the most fragile state, I was helpless—faith, hope, and love was the only thing I could cling to. The interactive nature of the piece is paramount. Allowing the viewer the opportunity to stand under and pull on the light of faith, the light of hope, and the light of love brings the attention to themselves, not my experience. I am allowing the viewer to decide to love, hope, or have faith at that very moment.
