Final piece, refined the maquette and hanged it so it emulates the action of a corpse being lowered or lifted from/to land/water.

final piece photoshopped on site. I chose the dump as the best representing place, its where everything eventually, return and ruts. There the material becomes sincere about its source, strayed from the formality of its purpose.

Attached one of the plaster apples to a stick, to create a fishing road, thinking about the biblical representation of the devil luring humans to eat the apple and modern cartoon characters luring other to do things with a road that has food attached to its end

I started this project whit looking at the disbalance between the poor and the rich, the discrepancies between the standards of living of people between different eco-social backgrounds. I looked towards modern slavery, what do we want? What do we gain from all of this? Is achieving comfort our ultimate goal? If so, what is comfort? Where do we draw a line and should we? Is corruption within hierarchical pyramids just the way it is and always been? Is corruption part of human nature?

Broadly, without trying to get into specifics of political issues or debates, through my manchettes I looked at wealth, or a synthetic form of comfort. I represented this through the use apples. (I transformed what was a pearl neckless in the initial part of my project, into apples.) I choose the apple as it has a broad symbolism in different cultures. Most commonly would be the biblical forbidden fruit of all knowledge, a symbol of immortality and fertility in Greek mythology, also commonly known to symbolise wealth, purity, death, luxury and have erotic associations with women.  Most people in the west can afford apples in a plastic bag or in a plastic tray, in a plastic bag, as if we are trying to detach from their origin. This becomes an item, that we buy for consumption. It this wealth? No. It’s an apple. What is wealth then? Two apples or a bag of apples? A bag of apples is wealth when there is only someone has a bag of apples and everybody else only eats potatoes and dreams of having an apple. Why shouldn’t they be happy eating potatoes? Why do they desire apples? Because apples are seductive? Because they are holding the person that has the apples in their possession in a higher regard, even if they don’t like them, they might start to believe that the goodness and wealth of this world sits in that bag of apples, so they want it. What if there are no potatoes either and you have to eat dirt until you painfully die, would a potato become wealth then?  Or is wealth something that can be acquired?

Plaster apple models painted with acrylics and polished, I wanted the apples to be seductive, shaped asymmetrically to reflect on the natural and the distorted. The stand comes from block 1, some ideas around it are lost heritage, commerce, corrosion.

In the first block of folio 1, i created vailed corpses out of string, hanged them over fabric sculpture, I wanted to recreate this using fabric and apples, shaping it in such a way, it looks like a person vailed in white cloth

The places that I chose, represented the cycle of product for consumption, like a digestive system, The stores- looking similar to transportation containers, the market shelves and the the dump, where the remains rut away.

final 3D sculpture responding to my concept
religiously people use even number of flowers for the deceased, the rectangle looks like its a casket lowered into the ground, or the ground being lifted up to reveal the casket. The side on which the light shines on the sculpture changes as I rotate it manually this symbolising the power of alteration and  manipulation.

experimental twig sculpture
technique: I used young twigs that bends, the same that I used the majority of my other  3D work , no binding materials used.

materials: wood base, twigs, orange peel pieces, rocks, dry blackberry, glue, nails, cotton string.
Here I used hanging objects like in my fabric sculptures. Had in mind gravity and balance, grave yards and Eden, death and stillness.

the string sculptures that are hanged over the blue represent veiled bodies that are being lowered or extracted from the blue structure. The cloth creates a landscape that represents both a static, silencing heaven; and cobalt mines where humans work for very little until they die.
