The middle pieces will consist of a rainbow of slices and each will have an image of an MRI scan on them along with a word. These words were specifically chosen as representation of various parts of myself. -## Discussion + +**Figure 3. Final concept.** Unfortunately, the laser cutter at school was out of commission severals times over the year and as we recently found out - it was due to the fibers from the felt from Week 3 that has been causing the issues! (more on that in week 3)... Anyways, this is as much of the acrylic pieces as I have managed to cut in between the times the fans have been somewhat functional.

Each MRI brain scan layer represents a part of myself. I have PTSD. In this piece, I wanted to show the many parts that make up who I am. Sometimes the symptoms feel overwhelming and all-consuming so I made this to remind myself that I am not just my symptoms. I am a full human being, flaws and all. All parts of myself are welcome. + +This is my first vulnerable and personal piece of art I have ever made for public viewing. I have been waivering back and forth of whether or not to share my personal struggles with mental health as it is so stigmatized around the world and this is an international platform. I am sharing this in the hopes that it might help someone feel less alone. I am also tired of hiding this part of myself and wish to live fully and authentically me. + +The final concept came to me on a long run when I was training for my first marathon. I have learned through this training journey that running is immensely helpful in my healing process. I find it very meditative and is a great way to connect my mind and body. -This is still a work in progress. I will be continuing to update this as I complete the project. +## Discussion +We teach SEL (Social Emotional Learning) at the school I work at and I wonder if this might be a creative activity that could be integrated as part of that curriculum. There is a similar lesson we do in which the student chooses specific parts of their identity, each part corresponding to a different colour, and creates a collage based on those colours. Perhaps students could do a similar activity but build a sculpture using painted pieces of cardboard or a simple acrylic sculpture to represent who they are as a high school student in that moment of time. Maybe they could even 3D scan their own heads and use that as the model! Just some thoughts. ## Methods and Materials @@ -55,13 +66,25 @@ First, I set up the skeleton on the floor of my lab.
