Konsepsyon an

Konsènan Synthetic Blue Eskilti

Synthetic Blue se yon eskilti ki sanble ak yon meduz (lagratèl lanmè). Eskilti a fèt nèt ak istansil plastik jetab yo rekipere, ki te remodle ak chalè epi ki tabli pou tout tan nan rezin. Fòm dòm nan kreye atravè konpresyon ak chalè kontwole, sa ki prezève teksti sifas yo ki fè sonje manbràn byolojik. Pyès la poze nan yon basen rezin ki pa fon, ankadre ak bwa, ki sijere yon sifas dlo ki reflete limyè. Moun k ap gade yo wè objè a an premye kòm yon òganis maren, apre sa yo rekonèt plastik jete a, yon chanjman ki atire atansyon sou efè fatra genyen sou lavi nan oseyan an.

Kredi, manm ekip ak detay teknik konseptè a bay.

Pwopriyete Inik: The sculpture is constructed entirely from reclaimed disposable plastic utensils that have been thermally reshaped and permanently embedded in resin.

The piece rests within a shallow resin basin framed in wood. Integrating material recycling, biomimetic morphology, and controlled thermoplastic manipulation, the work synthesizes sustainability, process-driven form, and ecological narrative into a cohesive sculptural object.
Dimansyon & Anbalaj: The object is positioned within a shallow resin basin framed by wood, simulating a reflective water surface. This base establishes spatial context while stabilizing the structure.

The project merges material recycling, biomimetic morphology, and controlled thermoplastic manipulation into a single cohesive object.

Teknoloji Pwodiksyon: The sculpture is constructed entirely from reclaimed disposable plastic utensils that have been thermally reshaped and embedded in resin. The dome structure is formed through compression and controlled heat processes, preserving surface textures that resemble biological membranes.
Defi Dizayn: The primary challenge was balancing structural stability with organic irregularity. Thermoplastic materials deform unpredictably under heat, requiring iterative experimentation to maintain translucency without
collapse.

Another challenge involved achieving water-like optical depth within a shallow resin base while preserving clarity and minimizing air bubbles.
Rechèch: It explores thermoplastic reconfiguration and biomimetic form translation. Through experimental heating and compression methods, disposable plastic utensils were transformed into semi-organic structures while maintaining evidence of their original function.

The research investigates how material memory, translucency, and deformation can simulate marine morphology. The work also examines visual misidentification as a design strategy, translating ecological phenomena into object-scale form.
Enspirasyon: Sea turtles often mistake floating plastic for jellyfish, leading to fatal ingestion. Synthetic materials have infiltrated natural ecosystems.

Synthetic Blue emerges from this resemblance. Instead of symbolically depicting marine life, the project reshapes discarded plastic utensils into a form that mimics the fragile translucency of a jellyfish.

By transforming waste into a seductive marine apparition, the work exposes the paradox of artificial beauty and environmental harm.
Dire Pwojè: Designed and fabricated in California, USA, 2024–2025.
Exhibited in 2025 at:
• Some Like It Hot, California Creative Arts, CA
• Pocket Gallery, Burbank, CA
Fliks Operasyon: Viewers first encounter the sculpture as a delicate marine organism due to its translucent surface and aquatic coloration.

As proximity increases, the identity of disposable plastic materials becomes recognizable. This perceptual transition — from aesthetic admiration to material awareness — forms the primary interaction mechanism.

The work operates through visual deception and revelation, mirroring the ecological misrecognition that inspired it.
