Lola Akinsola Sculpture and other things

The reason I made the twin towers was simply because the idea was given to me by a friend. He said that since I am from New York and I was in New York and got a smell and glimpse of the smoke and witnessed the towers fall from a distance, making this sculpture would feel personal and would keep me determined to finish it. He was right. As I began folding the cardboard into the towers it reminded me of how the towers used to stand. The materials that I used were red, white, and blue paint, cardboard, scissors, glue, and a needle and thread. I did it the way I did it because I was thinking of it as like a grave stone so I put the American flag under it.
