Assignment:
A sculpture that depicts a positive state of mind.
What I selected to translate?
I decided to work on the idea of being grateful for all the blessings we have. The Almighty has blessed us with a lot, it is only our desperation of wanting more and more. Better and the best than others around us. Forgetting what we already are blessed with. Not celebrating the fact that we are given enough and we should be content with it. And that we all should be thankful to the Almighty.
Model:
The difference in levels portrays, how we compare our achievements and blessings with others. How we tend to underestimate and disappoint ourselves. Whereas we do not see the positive side of it. Likewise, all the blocks are standing straight on thier own support. It takes a lot of courage to believe in yourself and stand with confidence without any external support. Being grateful to the Almighty for the countless blessings that he has given us is something we should all look forward to.
Material:
The material I have choosen is Cork. It is an Eco friendly material. It is light weight. Highly compressive with great resilience. Resistance to moisture and liquid penetration. Highly frictional material. Low thermal conductivity is also a key characteristic of cork. It is used for walls, flooring and also to enhance facade at times.
Cork is taken through the bark of tree. That way no trees are harm, and desforestation is controlled. Which we can assume as the tree will be so grateful because of the fact that it contributes to the environment with all that it has, it bears the pain of the bark cutting but keeps growing, the external factors do not disturb its growth. Different trees like neem tree, mango tree etc contribute through thier fruit and medicinal uses but be it any tree, through bark cork is been extracted, processed and used for a variety of purposes.
