I found our discussion on cosplay during the final crit to be quite funny.

Modeled from a 3D scan of clay spires, then inserted into Rhino and multiplied. Printed with ABS plastic.

Mold Making: Sonya Vasquez Wax Artist
Sonya Vasquez is an artist that makes wax figures of real people. She works with the Wax Museum to amaze replicas of famous people. She begins by taking a mold of the person. She takes different molds of each part of the body. She then fills in the molds with wax. She pays such close attention to detail, and the figures look very life-like.
I had originally purely wanted to make an object that would originally not be able to float, to float. Although my final project did produce this outcome, I noticed that a different concept could be associated with this work. I decided to link this work to the idea of the shortage of clean water on earth. Upon doing more research i noticed that humans have polluted, diverted and allowed fresh water to be contaminated by seawater, along with the global warming dilemma melting the fresh water ice caps.
