Human Gumball Machine

Medium: Sculpture   Tools: Clay, Marbles

The sculpture symbolizes the loss of spontaneity and the consequences of a more controlled existence. The marbles or “gumballs” represent finite resources: time, energy, and other essential aspects of human existence. Each extraction of gumballs mirrors the consumption of these finite resources. As more gumballs are extracted from the Human Gumball Machine, there is a gradual depletion of something vital—erosion of innocence and creativity—caused by external influences and societal demands.
