No one said that the base of your model must 'always' be flat.
I have always loved the idea of exploring every form that comes to me, and turn it into something I've never seen. For this assignment, I explored boxes. With just boxes I gave them voids, height, colors, cubes in cubes, mobility, and patterns. Trying to not limit myself and go beyond my limits, I came up with a 'suction' like image where my ideas kept popping out ideas that will overwhelm me.
This module have opened up my eyes to see simple shapes into many things that the mind can imagine.
