Ephemeral concept

After series of research, I am growing on the idea of creating something that is ephemeral. Wax has the ability to melt, and that is the property I want to explore in.

The reason I want to focus on this idea is based on the concept of non- existence and chance I have been discussing throughout this creative module. I really want to create a sculpture that is pushed to its extreme – but then having the ability to vanish over a period of time and change. As discussed in my ‘Street photography’ post, the right ‘Moment’ is what I want to emphasise in my final piece. Time is ever travelling and does not wait for anyone and everyone.

What if this sculpture was to vanish through natural causes- what would be the remains of it?

Though wax may have no parallel matter to fashion, fashion seasons and design turnovers are quickly changing and dissolving – just like melting wax. Throwaway fashion is largely adopted by the mass market and no matter how wonderful the piece may sit in your wardrobe, it may be neglected easily.

With my final piece, I want to collide the two Medias together and communicate the thought of ‘appreciation’ across.

What other critiques think about throw away fashion

Telegraph, Drapers, BBC etc etc have all surveyed and reported the fast moving trend of throwaway fashion has evidently created more land waste in UK – up to 30% increase. At first I was just focusing on the idea of capturing time and appreciation, but having read the series of affect it has to our world and environment, it has given me ever the more reason to demonstrate this ephemeral factor of fashion across.
