In my first Model A I wanted to show what my collage was representing a lonely child in the middle of train tracks, and two hands been separated. I first started with this curved wood shape representing the lonely child; I decided to curve it because I felt it’s a way of representing loneliness. My next step was representing the separated hands. The way I represented this was by placing the metal dowels through the curved wood shape. The other idea that came to my head was to build a train track and tilting it, and placing the curved wood shaped next to it. The reason it’s placed this way is because I want to represent the child hiding from the people that don’t like him. Then for Model B I was playing with the tracks by racing it up, in another way showing that the lonely child is so lonely that he feels that the tracks ran over him. But he still has these hands that are holding him together, if you can see closely on the third image of Model B on the metal curved shape in the back of it there is a wood dowel thats helping it stand up. And for Model C it’s the same concept  but rotating the tracks in a different position.

In my first Model D I wanted to show what my collage was representing activeness and aliveness. I first started by creating a base and then cutting up thin wood in two different sizes. My way of representing the heartbeat which to me meant active/ alive was by placing the thin wood that I cut up and making a ¾ triangle. The way I represented light was by cutting strips of white paper. With the strips of white paper I curved it and placed it on the base. My reason of curving the paper is because light is always moving around. For Model E I just lifted the heartbeat up and kept the same concept of curing the white paper. In this model the light is going through the heartbeat and the light also has a bit more of exaggerated curves. And for Model F I played with the heartbeat by placing them up and down.

It was very challenging to do abstract models based on this collage. But the main idea I had was to create a structure so something very smooth and flawless can sit on something very strong, hard, and unbreakable. The idea of the structure was to represent the idea of designing buildings and the stable fence that the rose is sitting on. And the idea of something very smooth and flawless came from the rose and the paint brushes because art to me should be done in a smooth manner. So for Model G what I was trying to do was creating a metal structure by curving it and then adding peeled fruit. The peeled fruit meant something healthy and smooth. I tried the same thing for Model H. Then for Model I wanted to switch up the things, but this time by not using glue. So I created a structure that stood up with the help of the metal dowels. Then I decided to put a white cloth with holes and running it through the structure.  The white cloth is representing the smoothness of the rose and art.
