LookingOutwards-03

I really appreciate the depth and negative space of this piece, and it reminds me of the example work from Prof. Levin’s article, PolyMorph.
Instead of a simply amorphous shape, however, this artist decided to arrange a face using the 3D interconnected units.
My favorite aspect is the use of spaces – despite there being so many small cavities, little distracts the viewer from the facial features.
While I’m not entirely sure the face is human and the uncertainty feels somewhat unsettling, there is also a dichotomous fullness and liveliness to the piece that brings me a sense of wonder, which is what I believe the artist was going for.
There’s a certain mix between realism and abstraction that makes this piece stand out.

This piece was among the provided resources from the LO assignment – I found it on Parametric World.
