3D to 2D Image
My favorite project to work on was the balsa wood sculptures. For the 3D to 2D Assignment I chose to use my balsa wood sculpture. The balsa wood sculpture simulated motion through rhythm. I enjoy how one object appears to influence another, despite it being frozen or stagnant. There is a beautiful irony. The above image depicts movement, yet the picture does nothing. I feel the image replicates how people get into a motion and go through their lives being stuck in a rhythm, and despite this motion they are not moving anywhere. It is easier to get into rhythm than to challenge yourself. The color purple is the color of wisdom. Though rhythm can be safe it does not challenge the self and is therefore unwise. Furthermore, each image appears to fall, which symbolizes how easy it is to fall into a cycle of repetition.
