This was a form study project at my university. The task was to make a monolite sculpture based on three keywords. The first keyword had to be a human attribution, the second one an emotion and the third one a physical property.

My keywords were: analytic, fear, soft, 

My research and its results were based on personal experiments.

Human Attribution: Analytic 

Dividing into elemental parts or basic principals.

Emotion: Fear

A very unpleasant or disturbing feeling caused by the presence or imminence of danger.

I tried to understand and analyze the feeling by my own experiences.

Physical property: Soft 

Yielding  to pressure or weight.

I found it nice how a different material, like marble, can express the softness of fabric.

I realized that if I extract the "flesh"  from sculptures, the movements and feelings  are still recognizable.

After I recognized that fabric could express feelings without the body or the face, the next step was making some individual experiments  to express fear in different ways, by typical movements.

Leave just the principle parts.

 

The process of abstraction.
