As I promised I wanted to explain this piece to you guys. In my thought process I went into it with a clear concept of growth starting from the bottom. I had the idea of monochromatic at the bottom to more colorful at the top. I wanted the lower levels of the pyramid to be more industrial, broken, and dusty and as you move up I wanted it to feel cleaner and technological.
In my artist statement for this piece I named Bood, Sweat and Tiers, I explain that the base of the pyramid represents us in our most basic sense. We do what we need to do to build ourselves and the world around us. As we move up we see inventions, color and technology shaping us. Man and nature working together to make the world a better and brighter place.
At the top we find the height of our development, it’s impressive how far we’ve come but we must always remember that our strong foundation is what supports us at our peak.
I hope you guys like it and enjoyed reading about its meaning.
Let me know in the comments. 😀
