concept

Research focused on the ornamental quality of bags and with the intention to present them as an expressive medium for art. Looking at art from an architectural point of view as both architecture and bags struggle with the use and allocation of space. Drawing specifically on the dynamic distinctiveness of Santiago Calatrava and Frank O. Gehry. The formative dynamics expressed in Gehry’s atypical formation are achieved through shape distortion, overlap and asymmetry while Calatrava's iconic style is captured with the use of symmetry and repeated motifs.
