The photograph captures a coffee table adorned with 2 mugs and a candle in the late afternoon. The composition is minimalistic and balanced with the coffee table positioned two thirds of the frame. The photographer has a closeup perspective, drawing attention to the details of the objects on the table. Lighting plays a significant role in this photograph. The beam of light streaming through the window acts as a focal point, drawing attention to the coffee table and the objects on it. The light casts a soft, diffused glow on the table top enhancing the textures and creating subtle shadows.
Abstraction
The abstraction of this photograph lies in the ability to capture moment of stillness and tranquility. The intent is to evoke a sense of calm and introspection, highlighting the beauty in the ordinary and the power of natural light to transform a space.
Form: Digital
The transformation of the abstraction to a 3D model takes the originial abstraction and recreating it in a three dimentional space, adding depth and volume to the composition. The 3D model provides an opportunity for viewers to interact with the abstraction as they can navigate around the virtual space, zoom in or out. This interactivity adds a new dimension to the abstraction allowing viewers to engage with the composition on a more personal and exploratory level. Overall, the transformation of the abstraction into a 3D model enhances the depth, realism, and interactivity of the original photograph. It brings a new level of visual richness and spacial understanding to the abstraction, providing a unique and captivating viewing experience.
Form: Physical
Using the 3D digital model as a reference, the physical model is constructed by employing various techniques and materials. The selected colored transparent paper is often translucent or transparent, allowing light to pass through while tinting it with the desired hue. By placing the stencil in specific locations, it filters and alters the incoming light, creating a similar lighting atmosphere to the daylight captured in the original photograph. When light passes through the colored paper, it interacts with the surfaces, objects, textures of the model casting colored shadows and reflections. This not only recreates the visual appearance of the daylight but also adds depth and dimension to the model, enhancing its overall realism.
Space
Drawing inspiration from the physical model, the reimagined space takes cues from its composition, colors and elevations. Transparent colored walls are incorporated into the design to evoke the concept of the stencil paper used in the model. These walls serve multiple purposes, including defining spaces, creating visual interest, and adding a playful element into the enviroment. The interplay of colors, light and shadow through the transparent walls creates a captivating visual experience, transforming the public space into an artful and engaging setting. The different elevations of the seatings and runways provide opportunities for people to have different perspectives, encouraging social interaction and a sense of community.
