Space and Materiality (week 4)

How a person can a person show what he can’t tell or don’t want to express by words. There are so many feelings that we can’t express through words. So what will be the other ways to state them.
I think visually because communicating through visuals are much more powerful than words. It can be depicted directly by drawing undeviatingly what you want to communicate or some people choose indirect ways like abstractions. Abstractions express different feelings to different persons. For some, a visual can be positive but for some, the same vision can be negative. So its a task to convey the same feelings to different people through abstraction. That was our assignment to convert our handgrips which I talked about in my last Space and Materiality (week 3) into a 2d abstract. It’s challenging for us to convey the right message to all of them without presenting the actual message. We have to present the hand grips into abstract form. Mind goes for a walk when we start thinking because then you have to think about each and every aspect of the situation. It’s hard to make the meaning available to all kind of people. Every person has a different perspective on the same thing. It was a challenge for us. A designer should know how to express himself without getting too direct or in a creative way.
