One of my first initial ideas was to represent my life in a structure of a plant.

Showing life from a seed transforming into a beautiful plant, i was going demonstrate every stage of my life through each leaf of the plant.

To the represent the good times of my life, my plan was to make those leaves more alive. To represent the bad years of my life my plan was to make each leaf look as if it had been deprived of nutrients..i.e. happiness in human life.
