This artwork depicts an employee's color melting away as he is being confronted by an angry customer. This is meant as an example of a situation when you are exhausted physically and emotionally but cannot let your feelings show for the sake of peace or survival. I used air dry clay with aluminum foil and wire inside for structure to make the characters and then sanded them down, painted them with acrylic paint, and glazed them with UV resin. The store was made mainly of matte board and card stock to create the structure of the counter and shelves.
