Sculpture Assignment 2: "Thank you!"
In this sculpture, I chose to show the reality of male depression and mental illness in society. Especially in the past, men have been asked to "silence" their struggles and "take it like a man". I sculpted a thin male (not the 'typical beauty standard' in America) and put a 'thank you' shopping back over his head to illustrate how their emotions are covered up to make others more comfortable. Men are always expected to be the "stronger sex", even now, and must suppress their big feelings. The shopping bag acts as the man's response to society's expectation to shut up and take it. He says "okay I will try, thank you for the suggestion!"
