Juxtaposition

On Tuesday after Creative Thinking we had a presentation for our individual projects for 3DF. We were doing a project on Juxtaposition. Juxtaposition happens when two things are in contrast with one another. I did a swing set to show the contrast of modern and traditional. The swing set is made up of wires to show how technology is consuming our traditional games. Nowadays, lesser and lesser children are seen playing on the playground instead they are so attached to the gadgets that are easily available around them anytime and anywhere. Here is my swing set!

 This is done by Tsering. It is a coffin with skull and gold coins. This is interesting as it shows impermanent and permanent. Wealth cannot be brought to the death bed and I feel like it is interesting that wealth cannot be destroyed however life is not permanent and everything that lives will sooner or later die. 

This is done by Claris. It has a little similarity to my model because the metal parts on the other side of her tree symbolizes technology which is having a great impact to our daily lives. Except she is doing on nature vs traditional. The satellite looks so cool doesn't it?!

 This was done by Gwendolyn.

This is done by Thurayya. She is doing a juxtaposition on peace vs war. The flowers symbolizes peace while the gun symbolizes war. 

This is done by Aqirah. It is a rabbit which was made by clay. Aqirah did on animal abuse. There was particular make up brand which uses animal to test their products. On the other side of this rabbit which you can't see in this picture which is made of metals. Those metals shows the suffering of the rabbit and the consequences of animal abuse which is successful in creating an impact.

This model looks so amusing and it was done by Wen Xin. It is a juxtaposition between life and death. The black roses shows death and the newborn symbolizes life. It was created by using clay and paint. Doesn't it looks like an artwork that you see in museums? 

Next, this was done by Carlyn. The book beside the clear folder represents those people who goes to school and really gained knowledge. On the other hand, the clear folder represents those people who didn't gain any knowledge.

This was done by Jennifer. This is a juxtaposition of  beauty and filthy. The lips are beautifully decorated while the the teeth are filthy and filled with dirt. This clearly shows how inner beauty is more important than appearance. This relates to the today's society.

That marks our final project for the class and I have enjoyed making my juxtaposition model even though after facing some difficulties in the process.
