LIFE CYCLE

MUSIC - In the clouds (Astron) scan QR to listen PRINCIPLE USED : Harmony, Repetition ‘In the Clouds’ is an emotional therapy music which can penetrate your mind and make you think of the memories from the past, like having a flashback. The form of the music is simple (using minimum instrument), direct and strongly repetitive, yet not boring. When the same rhythm is repeated again with a gradual increase in loudness and strength, listeners will indirectly dig deeper into their endless sea of memories, with a smooth transition

In our artwork, we emphasize on the feel which arosed to our mind when

we first listened to this song, the flashback. A depiction of a man in two extremely antipodal stages of life, ‘Birth’ and ‘Death’, with growing process as a connection between these two stages. The human figure was left blank to symbolize a newborn brings nothing to this world and a man can take nothing from this world upon death. Different colours were used to symbolize different stages in our life: Youth, Vitality, Self-discovery, Maturity, Midlife, Death, where the concept was strengthen by using two objects, dandelion as growing up and leaves falling as getting nearer toward death. White boxes floating in the middle symbolize photography (memories) remembered by the persona, with the intensity being highest in his peak age. This drawing, by presenting a cycle of life, where no one can escape from death, reminds us to always seize the day and live our life to its fullest.

SHELTER

CONCEPT

Concept of this project is to create a small, portable flat pack shelter which can expand into a large structure. The concept features the growth movement of organism, from rise to downfall.

HOW TO RELATED THE ART PIECE - [ LIFE CYCLE ]

A growth process of human started from zero to its peak stage, followed by a a sharp decline.

Similarly the mechanism of the model features the growth process of human, extended from its base following the curve of growth.

A mock up model consisted of five separated modular structure is created according to the growth curve.

Thread chaining each module to limit its expansion

By incorporating the ups and downs of growing process we shown in our painting with the organic form of a shellShell shape was chosen due to the sense of security provided by the sturdy form.

For traveller who loves sketching, they can choose a spot and erect the structure easily to produce their art in a sheltered condition. Allow them to rest and sleep as well.

PHOTO SHOOTING

SKETCHING

More natural lights entering the shelter

To bring in more natural lights for sketching purpose, the sides of the structure slightly trimmed, forming a triangular shape which is transparent. Two string was used to demonstrate how the structure will be erected and to fix in place.

Nylon to fix the structure on ground
