Explosive Meltdown

Not really that much to say. Barbie is melting and and there are sparkling, pink insides spewing out of her stomach, which is how the piece got its name. Half of her legs were chopped off, and one was plastered onto the board, along with a left hand. Barbie was originally burned with a torch to melt her, but she just kind of fried up instead of melting. It created a nice texture, though.

I was inspired to make this piece because Barbie seems like she would have so much stress and pressure in her life since she's been a model, parent, airplane pilot, and even a mermaid. I can imagine her combusting out of the blue from so much stress and pressure.
