‘Imploding Exploding’
When interpreting the shadow/shade theme, the effects of water came to mind. Despite my passion for swimming, I also have an appreciation for the hidden power and strength of water. I also find the way that light reflects and bounces off the surface aesthetically pleasing.
My ideas were fuelled by my hobby – swimming. I linked the use of butterflies with the butterfly stroke. I wanted to create a sense of elegance and power. The butterfly stroke when being swam, is seen as elegant and graceful, whereas for the swimmer it requires explosive energy.
My final piece brings this all together creating an imploding box, contrasting with exploding elegance of the butterflies.
