I used this piece for my AP 3D Design portfolio with the focus on adolescence and journey between youth and adulthood.
First I created a corset-cage to represent restraint and force expectation, while embracing the natural form.
Next I twisted the wire to accentuating sexuality to conform/ appeal to aesthetics, forcing it to abandon its true natural form.
Then I further twisted to collapse, compress and concentrate the wire. Overextending conformity to the point of loss.
After I used clustering and expansion to represent rebirth, recollection and metamorphosis.
Next I covered the cluster in paper skin then reversed the collapse expanding the form in rebirth.
