Deconstruction in the Void | session 24

…This work represents the journey of the unknown, symbolizing the ship as a solitary explorer traversing a sea of ​​uncertainty and emptiness. In its sharp, twisted form, the tension between the human drive towards exploration and the innate fear of the unexplored is reflected. The piece suggests that in the search for new horizons, both physical and conceptual, humanity is faced with the deconstruction of its own notions of reality and existence. The object seems to hold within it the promise of a destination, but also the inherent danger of the collapse of the known…

Title: “Form and Deconstruction in the Void”
Technical analysis: The work is notable for its aggressive use of lines and angular shapes that evoke Russian Constructivism, particularly the works of Vladimir Tatlin and El Lissitzky, who explored the use of sharp geometry and dynamic structures. Sharp edges and ridges recall the experiments of Futurism, where speed and energy were captured in forms that seemed to break with spatial conventions.

The use of color, predominantly red and black, could allude to the drama of Albrecht Dürer’s etchings, albeit modernized in a more industrial and mechanical context. The metallic textures and the sheen of the craft’s surface suggest influences from Art Deco, particularly from figures such as Raymond Loewy, known for his work in industrial design and his ability to combine functionality with a futuristic aesthetic.

In terms of technique, the work appears to be a mix of digital sculpture and advanced rendering, similar to the approach of contemporary artists such as Daniel Widrig, who explores the relationship between form and function in the context of digital design. The image can also be seen as a reflection on fragmentation and deconstructivism, recalling the architectures of Frank Gehry and Zaha Hadid, where form is broken down to create new interpretations of space and structure.

As a whole, this work is situated at the convergence of various currents of art and architecture, where tradition and modernity collide to produce a vision that is both disconcerting and deeply evocative.
