            This picture is one of my assignments for my 3D Fundamental module. The lecturer asked us to make a sculpture with repetition as the theme. She said that it's better to make a sculpture that has unique materials so I used pastas as my main materials for my repetition assignment. Other than pastas, I also used toothpicks as my sculpture base. I used pastas as my sculpture because I'm quite fond of the pastas' shape (the shell pastas have a very unique and interesting shape) and the other reason is that I want to make something from our daily life routine and the first thing that popped into my mind is food so that's why I used pastas in my sculpture.

 

            It's not hard to make this sculpture but it's hard to glued all the pastas and the toothpicks together. The pastas fell often because the top part of the sculpture is quite heavy and has an uneven surface and as for the toothpicks, they can't be easily glued because they wouldn't stayed for a long time If I glued them altogether so I must glued them one-by-one.

 

            From this sculpture, I try to triggered the viewers' thoughts on something around them that might have other function to make/do something different from its usual function.
