ARCHITECURE PORTFOLIO WERONIKA GIZYCKA ID: 1513348908 BROOKES ID: 19153272

This is a response to Lucy and Bart's artwork. The artists describe their work as a stalking of architecture, fashion and performance of body. The media used in my piece are balloons taped around the model. I decided to mostly focus on experimenting with the editing to result with an abstract piece: removing her identity and merging her into one with the material that I incorporated.

This is a continuation of my response to Lucy and Bart's art. Whereas, in this piece I used party hats which suggest childhood and adolescence. The sharp forms perhaps illustrate danger which juxtapose with the idea of innocence and vulnerability that connote for childhood.

Moreover, this could be relevant to architecture when considering the form and shape.

This could be interpreted as an awakening from a dream: from a fantasy that only our subconcious can take us. Gold connotes luxury and wealth and white connotes purity and innocence. The idea behind the project was to illustrate that she is trapped in her own fantasy.

These photos represent my component one work, that exhibit the theme 'diaristic'. The red connotes danger and urgency which contrasts with the black and white, which aids in emphasising the subject of this piece. Deciding to explore the emotions such as sadness, anger and loneliness: I also used a projector to highlight the inner thoughts of an anonymous person.

Perhaps this could be also relevant to architecture when basing it on the theme of a design: juxtaposition and contrast.

I created this scultpure to represent the issues that teenagers face when discussing mental health. I looked at it as a social project, asking people to write from a word to a paragraph, what they go through.

This piece in particular mentions feeling like an outsider in your own head. I believe that it is something that many can relate to, giving some sort of reassurance.

To construct this, I used a styrofoam head, clay and acryclic paint.

Sketchbook pages.

Media used: party hat and wax.

Party hat and balloon sculpture.

Etching experiments.

This is another example of battling with mebtal health: feeling like an outsider in your own body.

The media I used here was watercolour paint, black pen and colouring pencils.

Oil paintings o f still life.

Also including pencil drawings that focus more on detail and precision. This could be successfully relevant to architecture if when looking at the simple forms that create a body part. Nowadays, architecure can be inspired from anything: from the outline of a shell, to the wind movement that goes through airaplane turbines.

These are some examples where I used a blue pen as my primary media. As well as I worked on different scales, from A5-A3.

Additionaly, I have designed a DVD cover for my movie that I created.

It is based on a jounrey that a group of young adults have to face through a worldwide pandemic, which is quite ironic, as we are going through one too. I selftaught myself how to use photoshop to produce this set product.

Also, I have created a theatrical release poster. In my opinion, the location that the poster is using, shows a lot of diversity and culture, which is showcased through grafitti.

Presenting a short film of my everday jounrey, which reflects the conspiracy theory of how perhaps we are truly living in a simulation controlled by the governemnt.

Everday is the same as the day before, same routine and same purpose. The red hand suggests evil and creates a feeling of urgency.

Furthermore, the red hand emphasises the idea of control and the lack of rights as young people possess. Therefore, there is no noise or background music to show how silenced we are.

The collage represents the way youth views the world and the government. It also brings the idea of the recent conspiracy: are we living in a simulation? This is evident throught the images of glitch and the warning signs. As it can be argued that the world and the system is slowly failing and coming to an end. The colour black connotes authority and rebellion. Whereas yellow connotes optimism and hope.

Main media used to create this was acrylic paint and printed out pictures.
