In the process of making this plastic film, I was
thinking about the subsequent forms of expression,
including why I wanted to make it, why I wanted
to participate in the plastic workshop, and what it could do for my work. I wanted to present it in the form of a filmed video, the film as a medium to carry the 3d model, but also as part of the distance installation I was creating, I wanted to use it to be experimental, experiential, and its presence allowed my installation to develop as a playful, experiential 'tool' rather than just an installation to be placed there as installation, plastic film. This journey has refined my work, given it more layers, allowed me to achieve more possibilities as I dug deeper and kept exploring how it could become fuller, how it could work, I considered how to experiment, how experimentation could manifest.

I tried to make my own large vertebrae, the plan was to make a large vertebrae out of sticks and clay and then take it to 3dworkshop for scanning but the plan to scan failed because I didn't anticipate that the clay would be too dry and crack the next day, it was just an attempt at my idea development but it was important so I rethought the material, the volume, weight.

I still used my most familiar 3d modelling to complete the device, for this kind of modelling that requires very precise data I used shapr3d, I made an attempt to print it out first and it worked very well, but it was still not perfect at the cone connection, so I modified it so that there was an interface in the middle to assemble, the size of the ball I also had to make it more I also made the size of the ball smaller, because I wanted to reflect the connection at the closest distance, the closest relationship, the overlap is very large.

# data[].attributes.body
In idea development I am inspired by my intimate relationships, my friends, close friends, lovers, family, ordinary friends, strangers, I think of these relationships and I give them a clear place in my mind, a place that is distant from me and I find that the more intimate the relationship the more we overlap with each other, the greater the bond. Once this intimacy is broken or lost, I feel hollowed out, the parts of me that overlap with you disappear. Based on this I designed a cone and 6-8 balls as a visualisation device to express 'distance', the audience can position the balls in any way they want to express the distance, I guess it is also a measurement, a way of measuring the relationship, a form of distance. I drew diagrams, measured distances, considered how to place or hold them, how to express them and how to use them before I started.

In Ana Carolina Cunha's research, I liked the way she presented her work, she used stop-motion animation, she took a lot of pictures to show each movement, she invited the children to play and participate in her work and recorded it on video, this act of letting the children (the audience) turn in random groups, this experimentation, it made me learn about this way of recording, this form of presentation, letting the audience enter into the work and participate and experiment, making the work recreate, it helped me a lot, it made me think about the form of presentation, I really want to try this experimental way of communicating with the audience.

Through my research into measurement, I wanted to explore what measurement
is, what we can measure and what can be measured. From these questions I learnt
that measurement can be of all kinds of objects, even invisible things such as
emotions, relationships, memories, moods and so on.

I chose wood panels, red, blue, green, orange and white transparent acrylic as the cutting material. Because of the different thicknesses of each material, the width of the standing jacks I designed also had to be measured with precise data.

I had the measurements ready and when I got to the workshop the instructor told me that there was a machine here, a CNC cutter that could make the box I wanted, She taught me to draw in AI as the CNC machine also needed a drawing plate for cutting.

After cutting I had to saw each
board myself, which was quite
a lot of work, and I needed to
know how to sand the boards to
make them smooth all around.

# data[].attributes.body
Before the lasercut I also went to the bench, I wanted to try to make the blocks with thick blocks, but after the bench workshop I found that the shapes with many corners were very difficult to cut, so I finally chose to go to the laser cut.

# data[].attributes.body
I am starting to learn how to draw using AI software as Laser cut requires
the import of AI files for cutting and this is the first time I have been to a
laser cut workshop. I love exploring the workshops at our school because not
only do they make my projects more layered, expressive and creative, they
allow my projects to be completed through my hands-on work, and each
time I go through a new workshop I learn a new skill that I can use in my future work and consider the different visual effects that can be achieved using the different workshops that I know about.

the blue, red and green lines represent the different types of cuts, internal, external and sculpted, I considered the elements that needed to be sculpted and the

thickness of the lines , as I had drawn a lot of lines to design these figures , I had to keep them to the external outline and sculpted lines and remove the excess lines, this was still a lot of work

# data[].attributes.body
This is the development of all my ideas, and this whole process can be seen in the fact that I started by researching the most common iconography of women with dresses, and found that I used the element of the dress as long as it was used to express women regardless of age, and then I developed the design of diverse images of women, from the styling of hair to the different figures, through a variety of clothes (very feminine, unisex) and muscles and body hair, postures and movements. I wanted to express that whatever gender is exclusive, in my design expression I wanted it to be de- contextualised, that it could appear on anyone of any gender, not just one of them. There are more idea development drafts in the blog, I had many other ideas like revolving doors, playing cards, blocks, nesting dolls before I chose the box as a way to express myself, these are all possibilities I had designed. I chose the box because I used it to represent today's society. Each of the diverse female icons standing in the box represents a real and diverse woman in our reality, and I designed the cut-out icons on the box.I thought about using the chromosomes or sex symbols that I learned during the preliminary research, but in the end I wanted to use the female icon of the dress, which is the most common icon we use nowadays, as a skeleton, which represents the stereotype of women that still exists in today's society. You can also see the many measurements I took to make the box more accurate and to allow each of the female icons to stand in the box.

# data[].attributes.body
These are expressions based on the most inherent characteristics of the biological sexes of men and
women, and I think this is the best kind of expression that doesn't carry any solid stereotypes.The survey got me thinking about whether I could use these elements in my projects to express de-stereotypes and de-contextualise.Whether I can express equality through the use of these icons in my work, how this idea can be put into practice, the design of the icons, these are all directions that I need to consider in my later development. I learned about semiotics, about the expressions of both genders, the different scenarios and cultural contexts in which symbols are created, and I learned about the symbolic expressions of both genders without any preconceived stereotypes.

I saw that Abbas Zahedi used the element of 'emergency exit', which was meant to be a warning, a reminder, an escape, an emphasis and an important message, including the white light through the green icon, which was very prominent and eye-catching, and I thought it was worthwhile for me to learn from this expression, which made me think about how my expression should be presented to activate the audience's attention.

# data[].attributes.body
it is evident that the most commonly used expression of femininity is the skirt, which I believe does represent one, but by no means all, of the characteristics of women, I also found that many of the icons that express all people are male icons, which made me think about the gender inequality in this, as female icons are mostly found in areas that are exclusive to women, such as women's toilets, seats for pregnant women, dressing rooms, etc.

I really enjoyed my journey as I learnt a lot of new knowledge, skills and improved my ability to collaborate during this project, which will enhance my future creative abilities. I learnt a lot from working and discussing with the tutors at Art In Site Studio, such as the knowledge section where I gained a better understanding of mental health, the real-life interviews which allowed me to explore the most realistic messages that cannot be gathered when researching artwork; trying out new techniques when considering how to develop my sketches, I tried new techniques and learned to create and design concept facilities using shapr3d software.

I loved this learning experience because I was constantly experimenting with my ideas, I was constantly pushing the feasibility of each idea I had and making practical attempts to do so, for example I thought about how to realise the embraces and I visualised them in 3D modelling, which is what I learnt in this unit, art should be applied, I tested my designs in practice and explored how it connects and responds well to the environment and people.

# data[].attributes.body
These are the other three sculptures that I have designed and will be placed in different locations in the mental health department so that their different sensory and visual expressions can soothe the patient on different levels and create a better experience. The large embracing hands are placed in the lobby of the centre to provide a sense of security and visual comfort to the patient upon entry. The hugging wings are placed at the top of the lobby so that if patients lie down to rest they do not just see an empty, silent ceiling, but these huge, guardian-like wings, which give them a sense of reassurance that they are being protected by nature. I have studied and used many natural elements in this project, as I believe that elements from nature can give patients a sense of calm, relaxation and soothe them. I designed the sculpture to give the patients a sense of protection from nature, to make them feel safe and calm, to calm their nerves and to let go of their anxiety and worries about the medical treatment.

# data[].attributes.body
Shapr3d is different to Nomad which I often use in that it allows me to take more accurate measurements and create more accurate models, I can create a model based on the measurements I have given and this measurement is a great way to help me create the concept I am designing. I had a lot of fun with this random and entertaining exploration process and it opened my eyes to the possibilities as this was my first attempt at designing a facility that was very conceptual and I was still in the process of exploring and learning.

After completing the conceptual installations, I considered how they would fit into the space, their placement and display, how they would

interact with each other and how different placements would affect the space, and how they would appear in the space.

3d modelling is not new to me, but these are elements I will consider how to present them in a large, bulky, blocky, complete, soft, geometric presentation, so when squeezing the 'hand' I pay attention to its shape, not wanting obvious joints and angles, considering the angle at which it loops. When squeezing the 'raindrops' and 'clouds' I considered their texture, I wanted it to show a little bit of texture, again blocky and blunt. The shape of the 'wings' I modelled on the wings of an angel, wrapped in a pose, and I wanted it to have a soft, warm feel to the design.

Visiting this museum has allowed me to see and learn more about what I know and how things work. Although my project has already started and has a clear plan, this has not stopped me from taking in more and different knowledge and I think that although I can't use them now, it has helped my eyes and knowledge to sink in, allowing me to have a richer content to help me with my future projects.

My work schedule, which is all the workshops booked, I'm actually not a big fan of writing this kind of schedule, but at the end of every term I'll book a whole bunch of workshops and they're staggered and I have to write them down, but I find this works really well, I never miss any of them and it makes me very efficient.

# data[].attributes.body
I used the questions in the MODES OF INQUIRY/ ENQUIRY SHEET to develop my thinking and to start thinking about the direction I wanted to take, in addition to brainstorming my ideas and possible solutions in terms of format, choice of workshop, thinking about format etc. This was very effective in helping me to develop my thinking and find a clear direction for my studies.

The facilities inside the Taube Pavilion Psychiatric Hospital are intended to feel homely and welcoming, with patients able to have their own private individual space, wake up in their private rooms, observe the trees and views out of their windows, and have access to fresh air and sunlight - it's less like a hospital and more like a holiday resort.

# data[].attributes.body
Artists James Leadbitter and Rosemary Cunningham, who chose a number of brighter and more vibrant colours as the main colours for their child psychology clinic. Inside, the facilities are more rounded and full of blunt shapes. I was most impressed by the large skylight in the roof of the waiting room, which floods the room with natural light, a light and dark that is just right for a sense of calm and comfort.

The Psychiatric Clinic at Södra Älvsborg Hospital by White Arkitekter, in designing this clinic, he studied the relationship between nature and people, and what kind of positive impact the natural environment can have on patients. In my own interview with the three interviewees, I learned that they all prefer a calming environment, fresh air and natural materials. In the future, I will consider the natural elements and hope to use them in my design space.

# data[].attributes.body
White Arkitekter's design examines spaces that have a positive impact on the recovery process and which elements can help patients suffering from mental health problems. The impact of the environment on the patient is studied: what the patient needs and what will best help them to have a positive psychology in this environment. His design allows the space, the surroundings, the building and the elements within the building to interact with each other in order to create a positive effect.

I went to see Mike Nielsen's exhibition and walked into each of the different spaces he created to feel the different elements, different facilities, smells and lights that brought me a different visual experience, and as I walked through each of his rooms, I felt like I had travelled to a different place, which allowed me to fully understand the different effects that different elements can bring to people visually and emotionally. Through this, I started to think about how to bring different feelings and experiences to the audience through design.

# data[].attributes.body
The brainstorm helped me to think faster about various aspects, such as the conceptual language I needed to research and explore conceptually at the beginning of designing the hospital, each question helped me to think deeper, the facilities I could choose from in terms of materials and equipment, what I had used before and what I had never touched before, and the visual language I considered different images to bring out different feelings in the audience, thus expressing my thinking and design.

old and the flooring was very dirty with small stones feel very uncomfortable.

the smell of disinfectant

as simple as possible, as clear as possible

the counselling room, no windows, no glass around, more airtight, would feel safer, without worrying about being heard.

The counselling room’s door is glass door, there is no rubber or anything like that around the door, it's not soundproof, the outside and the downstairs can hear it very clearly, feel very afraid of that.

bigger sofa, legs can relax, sit on the chair makes my legs tired, on the sofa, don't need to use the legs, don't need to exert.

The table, would like it to be slightly higher than knees, to give a little bit of shade, to give a little bit of security.

The size of room would like it to be smaller, but not too small, and would prefer a square or rectangular room.

In terms of colour, prefer not to have too much saturation, and not too vibrant, such as yellow, but a little lighter and less saturated overall.

A little brighter, warm light, but not too harsh white

The size of it is better in the middle, don't want it to be too empty, which makes me feel a bit desolate.

Prefer it to have a more rounded look inside.

Like a separate study room

A four-square shape

A private space, don’t want to be with other people, it makes me feel confined and sometimes people might look at me and then I don't feel comfortable.
