...oh, well, it is not maybe the costume as it really should be, as you could rather describe it as a wearable puppet, but I actually wore it, walked about five steps before I could suffocate and then happily disassembled that into trash.
I streamlined my needs into five definitions: people, laughter, my parents, inspiration, memories. The one which gave me most inspiration were my parents - as you can see, the creature is two-headed as well as it has two personalities - inseparable, but completely different. This is something like a visual representation of my Mum and Dad - as my Mother is a simple person (but of great character!) while my Father is kind of twisted, like I am - definitely more complicated than he is at the first sight. Using mirror as the material is symbolic as well - it reflects the World around me - mostly the people that I have chosen as my first need.
I am glad that I could once again work in the terms of 3D composition. I was able to use my experience from metal shaping workshops I had in my high school (I know I keep talking about my high school - but it was amazing. Even though I finished it almost two years ago). I managed to follow my firstly set requirements I wanted to get stick to - the form is minimalistic, with simple physic effect of reflection, I managed not to get so-called plastic, cheap feeling.
I am... okay... with this final piece. Yes. I am getting more confident about my work.
