Summarise the Core Theme of Your Work in One Sentence

Someone asks what your work is about and you can only describe one piece at a time. This looks across your last several projects, finds the tension or word they share, and lands it in one sentence. Good if you freeze at the artist-statement question. You walk away able to say what you make without waffling.

<context>
You have been creating work in [medium or form] for some time and are asked to say what it is about. You always struggle to answer because you can describe individual pieces but not the thread that connects them.
</context>

<task>
1. List your last five to seven pieces or projects and write one sentence for each about what it was exploring or expressing
2. Look across those sentences: what word, tension, emotion, or idea appears in more than one?
3. Draft a one-sentence theme statement using this structure: my work explores the tension between [A] and [B] in the context of [C]
4. Test it: does this sentence fit all or most of your pieces? If not, revise once
