Inspired by The Poppy War by R. F. Kuang and my general love of phoenixes. My 7th grade art class assignment was to create a symbolic mask, so my phoenix represents the rebirth of our world surviving the pandemic and rising stronger than before the world went up in flames. (But actually I just really wanted to make a phoenix so that’s the official excuse.)

i made an anglerfish sculpture for school it took a few weeks of me working on it for a few hours everyday but holy heck i actually finished it it also serves as a semi-functional mask

the process involved trecking through a hell made of paper-mache while sacrificing many packets of air-dry clay and half a bottle of black paint and i'm not entirely sure that it was worth it but i'm still proud.
