Source of inspiration: The Human Spine

 

Observations:
1 / Only serves its purpose if the individual bones are connected together.
2 / It does not work if there is no main component.
3 / It is a source of strength, support and stability.
4 / A healthy spine keeps balance, and it also had to be balanced.

What we aim to produce (meaning behind installation, description of installation)

-Like the spine , the students (connected elements) form the school/community (body) not as individuals, but as a whole.

-Without a part, the whole spine cannot function healthily ( Without the active contribution of the students as a community, the school wouldn’t be able to perform at its best )

-Through this sculptural installation we would like to question students the importance of community, using the spine as symbolism.

Ideation

– A sculptural installation that can only work if they are put together.

– A design the requires the dependency of each element to form a whole sculptural form.
