Abstraction Exercises

Secret, 2D Drawing

Secret, 3D Form

Void, 2D Drawing

Void, 3D Form

In this project, we used abstractions of the words void and secret created in a past studio.

We decided to incorporate these themes into our design by developing an interactive sculpture that symbolizes the expectation and reality of someone's secret being revealed.
