from the virtual to material

I have started materializing the computer designs in small scale projects.. they look like sweets! I think the will be more interesting when I scale them up taking advantage of the light weight of the hollow forms..

the searching...

I found a very interesting thought today by Peter Voulkos:
“The minute you begin to understand what you’re doing it loses that searching quality”

If only I could bottled this...

The design concept for my current work stands around a fictitious case:

In the current economic system, more and more natural resources are becoming commercial items monopolized by multinational companies. Examples of this are items such as agricultural seeds and water. In a hypothetical future, air can follow suit driven by the increasing levels of air pollution. If so, fresh air could become a lucrative commodity. Hypothetical containers for commercialized fresh air could be in the form of refillable rubber like vessels that people would carry around to sooth the need of fresh air. As so, this container would be an additional artifact to the human outfit.
