E Uiga ia Superegg Faapipiiina Faapipiiina

O Superegg e faʻaalia le faʻateleina ole faʻateleina ole laupepa e tasi le faʻaaogaina ole kofe, e faʻatusa ile fefaʻatauaiga o tagata ma lona aʻafiaga i le siʻosiʻomaga. Foliga mai luga luga o le eleele, o le textured geometric superegg foliga, pei ona faʻataʻuina mai e le matematika Gabriel Lame, ua faʻataʻitaʻia ma faʻapipiʻi kofe kofe tiaʻi faʻapitoa faatulagaina i laina atoatoa. O le mataʻutia aafiaga e faʻaalu ai le tagata maimoa mai itu uma ma mamao. E sili atu 3000 kupita na aoina mai e ala i se valaau i gaioiga faaagafesootai ma le lotoifale. Superegg faʻatagaina le tagata maimoa e matamata lelei o otaota ma faʻamalosia fou le toe faʻaaogaina o amio.

Uiga Fa'apitoa
Modern consumer product packaging can be irresponsible to nature and the human connection with it. This sculpture reveals the beauty and harmonious co-existence of humans and nature, made possible by thought-provoking art. Combining the core elements of art, the levitated Superegg creates a visceral experience that engages the viewer from all angles and distances. The ability to experience feelings and change perspectives through art, unites people, which is reflected in the sculpture image.
Fua & Fa'apipi'i
Dimensions, mm: 2038 high x 1463 diameter. Weight: 350kg. The bulk of the weight is concentrated in the base and centre core that gives stability. The art installation consists of 4 main parts (base, large and small wheels, aluminium strips), which facilitates the transportation of the structure and its assembling at exhibitions. Installation packaging and storage is a custom built crate with 4 panels that protects against bumps and scratches.

Tekonolosi Gaosiga
The support structure is made of aluminium, steel and plywood. The cylindrical core has 9 plywood 'wheels' cut and spaced precisely to form an exact superegg. The exterior is formed with 64 aluminium strips bent and rolled to match a 'Lame curve'. LED strips illuminate the sculpture from inside out. 3000 aluminium coffee capsules were collected via a call to action on social media and the local community. Capsules were cleaned and dents removed, then spaced accurately and glued on the surface.
Lu'itau o le Mamanu
Creating and upscaling a superegg as documented in mathematics theory by French mathematician Gabriel Lame in the 19th century was a challenge. We first modelled the shape in 3D CAD space and converted it to 2D in order to use flat materials like plywood and aluminium sheet. Nine CNC cut plywood 'wheels' dictate the various horizontal extremities, are spread vertically along critically precise points on the core shaft ensuring the shape is true to its design parameters.
Su'esu'ega
Design research and development was carried out according to the author's observation of consumer behaviour and studies on the resultant impact of waste on our environment. Crowd-sourcing the main material for the sculpture installation (used coffee capsules) helped create an intriguing story of community involvement and care for the environment. The colours, shape and texture, interacting with each other in the context of the sculpture form, assisted in realising the vision of the artist.
Fa'aosofia
The sculpture represents the rapid multiplying of single use coffee capsules, which symbolises human convenience and its impact on our environment. At the heart of the object is the geometric 'superegg' shape, combined with the capsules, it presents the contributions of hundreds of coffee consumers. The capsules are arranged into a new pattern, from random to perfectly spaced lines. This gives a new perspective and the opportunity to peruse our waste and lead us to rethink our recycling habits.
Umi o le Poloketi
The project started in May 2019 in Brisbane, and finished and exhibited in September 2019 at SWELL Sculpture Festival on The Gold Coast, Australia.
Fa'agasologa o Galuega
The sculpture serves as a visual, textured art object, with the intention of being viewed up close, or from a greater distance. Invited into serene space created by the form, line and texture, there are no defined viewing angles, encouraging the viewer to make their own discoveries. Appearing levitated above ground, the installation represents the contradiction of disorganised consumer product packaging rearranged in perfectly spaced lines, allowing for the beauty and randomness to be revealed.
