Bachelor of Fine Arts (Sculpture)

I do not like writing. However, this is a requirement.
I write one-liners because I cannot write beyond that.
I find it difficult to articulate myself; to write; to speak.
I like to think that I speak through my art, or rather, my art speaks for me.
The language, image or object says what I cannot or am unable to say.
However, I could be wrong.
