Eikasia -2020

This project is to design a beach box for the assigned artist based on his work and life experience. It takes a lot of background checks and research of the artist's work to guess what the artist likes. My artist is Anish Kapoor, he is a famous sculptor. His works often appear in black or red. So I used these two shades as a whole in my design.

Sir Anish Mikhail Kapoor CBE, RA (born 12 March 1954) is a British-Indian sculptor specializing in installation art and conceptual art, born in Mumbai. Kapoor attended the elite all-boys Indian boarding school The Doon School, before moving to the UK to begin his art training at Hornsey College of Art and, later, Chelsea School of Art and Design.

His notable public sculptures include Cloud Gate (2006, also known as "The Bean") in Chicago's Millennium Park; Sky Mirror, exhibited at the Rockefeller Center in New York City in 2006 and Kensington Gardens in London in 2010; Temenos, at Middlehaven, Middlesbrough; Leviathan, at the Grand Palais in Paris in 2011; and ArcelorMittal Orbit, commissioned as a permanent artwork for London's Olympic Park and completed in 2012. In 2017, Kapoor designed the statuette for the 2018 Brit Awards.

Model Making

I made a spiral out of wire and wrapped it in plastic wrap, which shows the verb to curve. It becomes the light source for the room. The whole inspiration comes from Anish Kapoor's work Marsyas. This sculpture also uses pvc film.
