Visual communication

This practical experiment was about finding the right material / reaction  / meaning combination in order to create a piece of visual communication which speaks for itself and contains certain messages depending on the words and reactions of materials.

Here for example it was about using the element fire:
#fire#cardboard letterforms # Hopes & Dreams

#cress #grow up

I used same concept in connection with the growing process of plants:


1st. day - Spreading out the seeds made me realise they cannot 
be too close together as it would suspend or stop them from growing.


5th. day - Temperature : Cling film increased the process of 
growing as the effect was similar to the the one as in a “glasshouse“. 


7th. day - The excitement of noticing the first movements even if 
the process of growth is too slow for the human eye to perceive.


9th. day - Analysing the observation that the movments of the growing process was going towards the window - in the direction of the sun. The lifespan and the growing process were the same interval.

THE ICE EXPERIMENT:

Using the feature of melting in order to create meaning within the words # anxiety# sad #pain.
 Colour has been used as an additional element to support the word. All these elements are vital aspects in order to communicate.
