    Contrapposto | 2011 - 2014

Contrapposto is the state of equilibrium and harmony created by opposite motions. As the evolving of urban civilization accelerates, the emergence of new forms gets more chaotic and unpredictable, and the complexity of structural relationships between their components increases rapidly. The aesthetic principle of the recent series harmonizing and synchronizing interaction between the heterogeneous objects: the form of human body sets parameters to everything. A chair is a gesture of ourselves. Object has very important role to adjust our lives in any space, private or public. "Contrapposto" transcends the limits of formation process in the world of objects. All of them are positioned here as dialogical pairs forming interrelation, imposed by the author, between counter posed metaphors. Process of the interaction with objects & material is purely the discovery of self: where the kind of inactive body attracts the active bodies and in a way the active one is more active by the inactive.Twisted into a spiral and charged with versatile identities. An ordinary object is a metaphor of our presence. The conceptual core of every object is expressed as pliable, and its deceitful balance carries us away into the zone of meanings — not only that of symbols. I challenged the idea of perception and creates another type of mentality, where typical notions contradict co-existing ones, and the mentality itself is interpreted as an abstract language and its expansion.
