The definition of a momento is anything serving as a reminder or warning. For this project, I based my momento off of a memory of mine from this Summer. This Summer I was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis, which is an auto-immune disease that targets the large joints in your body and causes those joints to fill up with liquid fluid. There isn't much research on this disease but it was a crucial reality check for me. I chose clay, fabric, and thread as my three items to use. The clay serves as the joint and is the heaviest material used. The weight of this momento is very important for the success of this piece. The shape of the clay serves as one of the main elements in this piece. The fabric represents the skin wrapped around the hard liquid fluid in my elbow joint.
