This piece was inspired by a concept of relief sculptures that I examined. When coming up with an idea for a relief sculpture, I took into consideration that my task was to take the image of a 3-dimensional object and describe it by confining it to a somewhat 2-dimensional plane with limited depth. Instead of creating a 2D image with a minimal 3rd dimension, I toyed with the idea of having sections of proportionate objects projecting slightly from the surface of the relief, much like a large stone protruding from a still pond. I realized that I could create a sculpture where not all of the subject was represented. Rather, it would be understood that, although the full figure was not present, the remainder of the figure is hidden beneath the surface. My first thoughts were to have that surface be water, but wanting my sculpture to have more contextual meaning, decided there should be a valid reason for the half-immersed effect I planned to create. Rather than water, I used quicksand, and had a man sinking into it.
