Planar Exercise –
2D Planes | 3D Planes |
Straight axis | Curved |
Bent axis | Broken |
Curved axis | Twisted |
Complex axis | Grouped |
This exercise is to create interesting compositions by mixing 2D and 3D planes.
001
For Model 001, I played with the large void to make the D look like its levitating with the SD wedged in the middle. Both the D and the SD is pointing upwards but in two different directions to show the dynamics in this composition.

Smell & Memory –
“Smell goes into the emotional parts of the brain and the memory parts, whereas words go into thinking parts of the brain.”
After a smell enters the nose, it travels through the cranial nerve through the olfactory bulb, which helps the brain process smells. The olfactory bulb is part of the limbic system, the emotional center of the brain. As a member of the limbic system, the olfactory bulb can easily access the amygdala, which plays a role in emotional memories. Sights, sounds and smells can all evoke emotionally charged memories.
Emotional memories
The researchers further showed that the auditory, visual and olfactory cortices each store memories related to the specific sense they process. Lesions in the olfactory cortex did not prevent trained rats from remembering to associate a sound with the fear memory.
Plastic bottle model –
Based on 2 of our scent – pleasant and unpleasant scent to create a sculpture.
Pleasant | Unpleasant |
Brand new electronic gadgets | All sort of mushrooms |
I feel nauseous whenever I thought of mushrooms. I can never stand the smell and also the texture!
