Leaves in the wind

The idea behind this project was to create 4 images that would capture the building in its environment with all kinds of lighting/atmosphere scenarios. The client especially liked the misty/rainy atmosphere and wanted to see it in at least two of the images. Overall the images are more stylized rather than photorealistic, to give them unique, picturesque character.

Recently I got the chance to hear a speech from Ross Calia, Ross is a talented multidisciplinary creative artist. Well known for his addictive sound composing integration into varied project typologies, Ross’s humble speech inspired and provoked me as a visual artist to rethink the way I extract concepts from images.

Learning the limits and possibilities of aural and visual translation when it comes to conveying the conceptual message, I tried to sketch down what I think is hearable that viewers can ‘see’: people or animal’s activities, lighting shift, moving weather and shaking vegetation…etc

‘Baa’ is the outcome of this brainstorming process.

The FALL is middle-hill seated, surrounded by moving nature. In the attempt of putting the livable creatures closer, imagination gives a second of popping up the animal’s sound in our head before scattering the eye through the windy meadow to uncover the architectural object. As natural as reality, the context is built in advance and the look-out structure flows along with the topography, blending itself to be part of the scenery.

Project: The Fall

Have you ever missed an old project and would like to go back to re-make sometime?

‘Emerge’ is one of my old uni exercises two years ago. We were asked to watch the German movie “Wings of desire” and get to design a monument coming from whatever the movie inspired us.

‘Emerge’ is my introduction to the FALL monument architectural concept popping up when I finished the movie. A monument acts as a lookout in winter and a diving bridge in summer where people could experience the FALL_such experience as the main actor who played an angel chose to give up his wings and fall for human life.
