EVOLUT10N
sculpture; clay
Through a personal observation of my peers’ reliance on smart phone and social media, addiction/obsession are the few words that can be used to describe such phenomena. Even though the platform enables people to connect with each other and express their content freely, it also lead to many unforeseen circumstances. This project intend to highlight the consequences that follow the addiction.
These sculptures based on Hindu gods; the Trimurti or the Trinity of Supreme Divinity. The reason why Hindu gods were chosen is because each of them represents different qualities which align with these characters, for example, God of Success, God of Beauty, God of Money, God of Love.
The sculptures are named after this order:
1. the Three Divine Shrine / Paper Clay & Wood / 30cm x 65cm x 61cm
2. God of Beauty shot / Paper Clay / 22cm x 22cm x 31cm
3. God of Success / Paper Clay / 9cm x 14cm x 14cm
4. God of Love chat / Paper Clay / 12cm x 11cm x 19cm
