Coexistence

We are all living in the relation of coexistence. In the interactions of nature, sun, and human. Especially on this project, I wanted to observe the interaction with the sun, nature, humans, and especially adding garment into the relationship.
Garments are interpreted into abstract shapes, a conception of the human body and clothing, going back to the basic figures to emphasize initial principles of true essentiality. 
These animated shapes of sculptures - circle, rectangle, and triangle - are made of mirrored boards enabling 4 factors (nature, sun, human, and the garment) to reflect one another showing the significant implication of indirect visualization as well as by the thermal colors. The connection is visually viewed through the lens of a thermal camera.

New Search

-Relativeness

During the project, the relative relation between each element could be found with other surroundings, trees, grass, house, soil, and human. The camera was set as 'unlocked span', which means the range of temperature is relatively different by the objects seeing through the lens. In other words, if the soil and the abstract bodies are comparatively warmer than the sky, they will show brighter yellow or orange.  Also, when the soil and the abstract bodies are colder than my hand, they will show in purple or darker navy. 

Trial

-Initial Idea

Initially, I intended to see how the abstract body changes depending on the sunlight throughout the day. Referring to the artwork of Monet’s sunlight, I wanted to get the different colors that represent the time of day. it came out to be not as much as the dramatic difference it seemed on the visual lights and shadows. 
My premise of temperature change on mirror reflection does not happen to have a big effect. The side without the mirror absorbed the heat which turns out to be a brighter color than the side of the mirrored.
