This week of 3D arts we started to explore our next project, the luminary project. This week I took the time to figure out what I wanted the meaning and purpose to be, and how that will reflect into making an actual project.

To start, my project will consist of a rib cage, all bones separate from each other and joined together and held out by some sort of found metal, possible paper clips, or key rings. Inside there will be light and possible plants as well, reaching out from the bones.

The purpose meant to be behind this is shame shining through. One of the definitions for luminary is a body that gives light. So, my purpose and shame come from the core, I wish I could be a better person or at least a better version of myself, better at school, better with sports, better in everything I do. This leaves a weight on my chest. This is why I chose the chest and bones of the rib cage because it goes bone-deep and stays with me all the time, something that weighs me down in my chest, my core.

Bringing out the light from this would be a representation of trying to let that go and showing that side of me.

This is my sketch:
