Every snowflake is one of a kind due to its lone journey through the atmosphere all the way to the ground. This paper sculpture is inspired by the formation of snow crystals and the phenomenon of how a journey and experience shapes something.
Through this artwork I have explored the fantasy of what if the snow crystal captured what it witnessed. A memory frozen within its heart that blooms into its structure and colors. Titled 'Thunderstorm' the artwork captures lighting in all its glory. The thunderbolts branching into smaller ones as it spreads while illuminating the sky for a split second in shades of violet, pink, purple, cyan, yellow.
The artwork is made up of 25 layers of intricately cut paper. Each layer is stacked on top of another adding to its depth. It comes alive under the spell of light, revealing its true dimensional value. You will lose yourself in the art as you decode the geometric complexity and color transitions. Enjoy the 2D illusion from afar or come closer for the 3D experience.
An exquisite artwork that is a genuine gem for your personal space. It is a great gift for house warming or an anniversary. Something that will be cherished for a long time.
THE MAKING:
The artwork goes through a painstakingly long design process.
• Starting with design conceptualization and how best to portray it.
• Then weeks of drafting, layering and experimenting with color combinations.
• Followed by converting the 2D designs into 3D.
• After this the final cutting and layering is done and the paper sculpture is complete.
• A high level of precision is required as even a small error could lead to redoing the entire design.
The artwork has over 150 hours of work in its making.
