Post apocalyptic entity
Students were required to create a story line where the faith of the earth and humanity was at stake. Within this story line, key words were given to help understand the design and artistic value. These keywords would then be used to create a conceptual model that will still have the original story line intact.
My storyline began with the effects of extreme pollutions to the world, and how it has felt Earth's soil to be infertile, leading it to be an entire wasteland. Riots and chaos were form as a result of food scarcity ad starvation. Soon governments were torn down, society was dismissing, and order was gone. A young girl manage to survive in the remains of Serbia, because she began a life of hunting and praying on the weak, a life of Canibalism. And one day, she was approach by a man who claimed to be able to reshape society in her image. This is how a cult with the ways of Canibalism formed and rule the world.
My keywords from my storyline include:
- Evolve
- Diminish
- Burgeon
- Burn
The bottom layer of my model consists of irregular freeform elements to represent the Canibalism. I tired to show how the 'inner-animal' has always been inside of us (humanity/humans) but we covered it up with artificial matters such as order, laws and rules. When these matters (black mesh and structure) are torn down, it is messy and chaotic. The main element is a spiral tube that is circulating within the model. The spiral tube represents the cult and how it helps burgeon Canibalism while diminishes order.
The common medium I used to create was fire. I manipulated and melted different elements together to achieve the desired look. Burning each element also create a sense of unity to the chaos as it gave a more similar visual while being different materials.
Personally, I did not enjoy this project as much as the first, because as opposites I do not enjoy death, tragedies or horror. However, I found it interesting how a story could be metaphorically incorporated to design. Design elements and principle allowed me to transform and manipulate different matters to what i wanted it to be.
