How Much Can You Take is a ceramic series that functions as a performance piece, symbolizing the weight of pain throughout a lifetime. Each sculpture represents a significant moment of hardship, with the more painful experiences taking on more unstable forms. The piece invites viewers to stack the sculptures, testing how high the tower can grow before it inevitably crashes down. The breaking of the pieces are welcomed in this piece as it emphasizes when a painful moment makes the whole body shut down. This sculpture poses the question: how much can one endure before the burden becomes too much to carry?
