Introduction

This is from a ski resort in Hakuba, Japan. I don't necessarily find the image beautiful for the image's sake (I'm definitely not the greatest photographer) but instead because it communicates the idea of travel and allows me to imagine myself back in that place, experiencing a different environment and culture.

Daniel Libeskind's Jewish Museum in Berlin 2001
The museum is made up of 3 contrasting buildings which display the historical and current social issues of Judaism. The architecture, materials and functionality of the museum intertwines with it's historical teachings.
The angular building, covered in zinc which will tarnish over time, is said to represent violence and the continual development of Judaism in Germany.
This is one of my favourite pieces of architecture as it not only stands as a functioning building but also acts as a piece of art; a part of the museum itself, providing another outlook on the ideas of Judaism.

This was my Visual Arts HSC Major work titled 'The Seven Degenerates', depicting the 7 deadly sins (lust, wrath, gluttony, envy, pride, greed and sloth) through a vision of modern day technological advancements. There are about 8 layers of different materials and patina products on each sculpture. This was one of the first creative pieces in school that we could create with no limitations or boundaries and instead discover our own aesthetic views.
