The illusion of dimension
This series is a continued exploration of semantics, and of what we see when
these representations are deconstructed,
hidden in shadow, relieved of their depth.
A 3D space allows our brain to get a sense
of dimension and proportion. Color, lighting
and environment further this understanding
and facilitate the semantic interpretation of
an object.
In a 2D space, we lose control of this depth.
It doesn’t completely dissappear, but the
viewer can only understand what is shown.
Factors such as lighting, shadows,
backround, context become crucial cues
for our brain to pick up. As we strip them
away, objectiveness fades.
In these explorations, the 3D shapes I spend hours modeling are presented through in a fixed lens, allowing me to control how much information I want shown. Each object is confined to an angle; with it, their personality. Their depth, stripped away, now belongs to the onlooker.
