Viet Huynh Experiments:
The outcomes produced where made using primary photographs during my trip to the Science Museum as well as using clothes/textures for abstract effects.
Reasons for the creation of the outcomes above:
The idea of the experiments above were to explore ways in which I can represent isolation and imbalance, however, illustrate the inner beauty of social construct. In the first image, the marble female figure has a cage-like object constrained around her face to metaphorically refer to society being a social construct, by not allowing talents or gifts to blossom because of the system; therefore the flowers trying to escape from inside the figure's head can represent this. To further enhance the stress of social construct and hidden beauty, I added wavy lines in the cage-like design to evoke the strain between the girl breaking out of the cage.
I also used the same concept of the "cage" to create the second image. However, to make the message of isolation and imbalance harder to examine and create engagement upon viewers, I included braille text, coded "CAGE". The purpose of this was to state that isolation or any type of social construct is hard to see emotionally rather than physically. Hence, why the primary source of the male figure's head with a hole in the side was effective. It enabled me to put the code into the head and act as a metaphor of breaking the wall of the mind to achieve greatness. Furthermore, the animated GIF of the gradient lights have been created so that viewers can interpret the mood of the figure. Simultaneously changing the colours was the best way for me to get this message across. Moreover, the pixelated parts of the face were created to mask the identity of the figure as social construct, imbalance and isolation occurs everywhere, so I thought that this was a great touch to the design piece. Lastly, I added noise to the main figure as well as he background to try and achieve the neo-vintage style of Viet Huynh.
