What was the final representation? What did you create? What is it composed with (materials, shapes, forms)? Describe the textures, colors, etc.

First, I wanted to express a broken heart of man from the song using the jaggedness of a tin can. So I cut the can in half with a knife, (which was kind of scary) and made cuts here and there to make the edges look as dangerous as possible. Also, I chose a tin can, because the overall mood of the song is hollow and reminded me of an empty tin can. Then, I used "empty" balloons to represent the title. I made the balloons look lolled my imitating "Persistence of Memory" by Dali. I also chose the darker colors of balloons to match the ambience of the song.

Aside from the mood and flow of the song, I melted in the actual physical waveform of the song using a copper wire. With the image of the waveform in my hands, I made the wire look similar to the waveform of my favorite part. Then I put it between the uneven surfaces of the pieces of the can. Finally, I used a black acrylic yarn to represent confinement of space, so I could illustrate how a person feels when he doesn't want to get out of his room after a breakup of a relationship.
