Introduction:

The three sculptures visually communicate balance, growth, fragility, and transformation.

Next, explain in more detail:

While exploring materials for the sculptures, I wanted to focus on creating unusual forms and structures because I was interested in how fragile materials could still generate strong visual movement.

I decided to include wire, wood, masking tape, thread, and painted elements to create contrast between softness and structure.

I felt the work lacked depth and movement in some areas, so I adjusted the forms' positioning and added more layered details to create a more dynamic composition.

Conclude:

I want to keep exploring experimental sculpture and mixed media construction.

I want to learn more about how different materials interact in three-dimensional space.

This piece allowed me to explore balance, texture, negative space, and structural design.

The making of this work exposed new ideas, such as combining fragile materials with geometric forms to create sculptures that feel both delicate and stable.
