Lies that have become such a fundamental part of the government of our country, that we have become numb to their existence. They have become the standard of our government in my mind.
I wanted to represent the lies that our government feeds us which seem to go round and round in circles constantly toying away with the laws; sometimes we becomes so ritualized and desensitized that they get an opportunity to merge into the system and sometimes they are so apparent and oppressive that their existences seems to overpower the system and those who rebel against it.
The displacement of discs talks about the disparity between the reality and the fabrications that blind us. Although their displacement should throw the totem pole out of balance but it does not. The same goes for our system, at least up till now… for how long...that is a question one needs to ponder upon
This assignment made me observe the technicalities of vertical building. I had to consider gravity, balance and height. Apart from these I also had to make sure that all the discs would inter relate through their diameters and wall thicknesses.
Apart from the physics of the piece I deliberately made textures where they either merge into the structure, become forced or artificial or become the structure. These in a way do signify the nitty gritty details through which the government toys around with the system which might be claimed as strong but is nothing but hollowed by the 'lie termite'
This was an assignment that was very physically exhaustive but was a great learning experience because I usually did not consider factors such as weight, balance and gravity.
Since the entire structure is thrown, throwing such huge pieces was another challenge and making more pieces, playing around with thicknesses but replicating diameters was also another interesting process.
