Through artist research of Hieronymus Bosch and the exhibitions I visited, led me to create an object that protects my idea of Utopia. Inside the clear bottle I used, the strips of plastic cup represents water. The broken leaves stuck between, shows the element air, while the acorns show the potential for growth. Later on I added yellow wool to sit on the upper half of the bottle to symbolize the sun, while the silver flower in the centre of the bottle juxtaposed with the wool to represent earth. I chose a clear bottle so that it would be visually reminiscent of a message bottle.
Amongst the final placements, the bottle was placed in front of a large wheel covered with its own ideas of Utopia. Visually my final object was small in comparison to the others work, this was to emphasise that amongst the 'city' the idea of balance between mankind and nature was lost. The objects placed together is almost like a Bosch painting, showing the chaos of man made creations.
