Life Stages, 2015, interwoven lasercut cardstock

As we navigate our way through life, our present is always connected to our past. Life Stages is a visualization of the lives of five individuals, with each ‘stage’ represented by a new layer that intertwines with ones behind it to depict the ever-connectedness of how we live and how we experience our own lives. The first stage always represents birth or cellular division and each life moves through its own path, through structured education systems, puberty, unhealthy relationships, finding peace, etc. until it becomes its own entity, built up with experience, and becoming something beautiful out of chaos.
