My recently settled concentration idea is about music, an indispensable part of my life. I thought of combing two different instruments like making a piano shaped violin, but i found that even myself is confused - how is the shape going to look like? Also, i think it would be better to use steel to construct it, which makes the project even more difficult. The second reason that i am abandoning the idea "Music" is that, I have a feeling that music is itself interpretive enough that it is hard to convey an "artistic activity" with another form of artistic interpretation. For example, i felt that modeling a sculpture of "two hands holding tightly on a microphone to express the singer's high note" is too straightforward and lacking tension, especially when i cannot craft the veins and muscles well.
So now i want to change my concentration idea to "a series of figures in motion". I have had many ideas already, and i feel more comfortable working in this wide zone because i won't have to worry about surpassing the range. The very important aspect to me now is to find the right material, and i am now willing to take risk - to use steel, wood, or plaster, materials that i've never used before.
A basketball dunking figure, a soccer ball player, a guitar player, a singer, a motorcycle rider, a dancer, and a tennis player...
