Space/ Object project

The idea behind this piece was to create tension for the viewer both from inside the room and outside the building because of where the piece was positioned. Though it ended up not being very noticeable from outside the building. Though I felt that it did indeed have the potential to freak out at least some people if they happened to be day dreaming and glancing up while walking on the street below. Unfortunately, it ended up being more as if he was just chilling on the window glancing outside rather than trying to get out (at least it seemed that way to me from the perspective from inside the room) due to technical difficulties such as figuring out how to make him stay in that position. As I was working on this piece, the head in particular, I noticed I wasn't going to be able to make it resemble an actual person with the time frame given so I improvised and created the head you see here above. Originally my intent was to create Jesus about to jump out of the window to bring back the concept of how Jesus died to save us all. Though it would have been a completely different take on it because of how he would have been positioned, because he would have been sitting like how the piece is it would have created a inferred narrative that he was debating whether or not to jump, but, again, because of the time frame I decided not to dwell too far into a project that deserved more time than given. So, instead the idea of Jesus lead me to think of creation and how we question who we are and why we are. The intent of creating the piece with clearly noticeable raw materials and having its head slightly turned to the right aimed at his hands was to have the piece question itself as to why it was created. The fact that it was basically chained to the inside forbid him from jumping so he was then stuck in an eternity of interrogating perplexity as to why he exists. If the face of the piece was more noticeable and the viewer could trace where the eyes where pointing at easier I think I could have achieved my intent easier, but now I know for the future; nothing better than learning from mistakes.
