This container made of skyscraper shapes contains three main buildings: Empire State Building from NYC, 63 Building from Seoul, and the tower where I used to go to work in Seoul.<\/p>\n
For this assignment, I wanted to convey my experience in the two cities that I grew up in\u2013NYC and Seoul. Although two cities are far from each other and have distinctive historical backgrounds, I found them similar in a way that they are both fastpaced and full of workaholics\u2013including myself. Therefore, I made skyscraper shapes that indicate two cities and connected all the buildings using wires to suggest the similarity and connection between two different cultures.<\/p>\n
Along with the physical depiction of cities, I wanted to incorporate the feeling that I got from the fast-paced life and workaholism: being trapped. To depict the powerlessness, I chose to make all the buildings have an A shape, which gives the illusion of looking at the building from a low angle.<\/p>\n
While the light source is also trapped by the buildings, the light still shines through the windows, suggesting the possibility and positivity from the people who live the suffocating lives.<\/p>\n
