EMBRACE IN PROGRESS

A series of sculptures that reveal the seemingly interminable feeling of vulnerability brought on by an embrace. Embrace in Progress explores conflicted feelings of shared intimacy, it is inspired by my research about time, 3D scanning technology, and personal experiences with physical intimacy. The project was influenced by slit-scan photography and uses depth sensors to capture a series of intimate embraces. These 3D printed pieces recreate the act of embracing and are represented in a static form by the flow of movement twisted because of time. The final pieces reference classical sculptural composition while exploring new ways of approaching representation of motion and time.
