Hindu Temple (parti models)


This model was extracted from the "body" element of my collage. I used the  wooden skewers to display the structure of the body, its bones. The brown paper and white string represents strands of muscle. The bone and muscle augment each other and are co-dependent. This is shown in the model as the paper and strings are held up by the skewers, but the skewers are strengthened by the paper and string.

This model represents the element of community in my collage. Each arch is connected at a central point. This represents the binding together of individuals in the community by a singular force. 

In this model I attempted to convey the omnipresence of religion. This is represented by the amorphous, twisting sculpture. I chose this form because this is a form that I believe would be able to weave through time and space and encompass all.

This model was designed to display one's spirit.  Amorphous and limitless but still tied down. 

This model displays the symbiosis of community. The straight toothpick cannot remain upright without the triangular toothpick and vice versa. 

This model was designed to display the interweaving of the lives and experiences of the community.

This model was designed to display the symbiosis of elements of the body, the structure (bones) and muscles. The muscle (red band) and the bone (wooden stick).

This model conveys the union and connection of community to create something great that couldn't be possible without  elements of structures. The right base is interlocked into the left base and the wooden sticks of each side come together to form a structure that wouldn't be possible without the union of the bases.

    This model conveys the religion of Hinduism, in terms of its omnipresence, energy and circular nature. The model was designed without a plane that limits it, instead the model consumes the base axis to display the fact that is surrounds all. There is also no beginning or end in the model to convey a sense of the Hindu belief of reincarnation.
