Construct Series
If you could write a letter to Time, what would you say? To Womanhood? To Death? Each sculpture is accompanied by a poem written as a letter from Tyra to personified versions of these constructs. Dive into her mind during the creation of this series and contemplate a few of these questions yourself.

dear soul
when it is time
where do you go?
is it everything
you want?
or, maybe, everything
you fear?
did you
love someone?
will anyone
miss you?
are you
ready?
love,
tyra j
dear time
does it hurt when i
don’t appreciate you?
remember when you are good to me
less than when you let me down?
try to, despite your cries
manipulate you?
always want you
to give me more?
love,
tyra j


dear womanhood
who are you?
must i suffer to
experience you?
why does no one
understand you?
are you tired of
explaining?
justifying?
fighting?
hiding?
love,
tyra j
dear mind
i wonder if
you ignore
expectations
structure
emotion.
will you still
exist?
love,
tyra j
