Dogma: perfect human – Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft Berlin
The dogma of the „perfect human being “metaphorically
implies a „conception of human being“ that is relevant today.
The principle of this essay focuses on the problem of the
modern man with his new values, desires, and perspectives
that began to take shape at the beginning of January 2020 and
continue to take shape today.
The modern human being is an
individual on the verge of personal existence and apocalyptic,
crisis times, who has migrated from a comfortable mobile and
coordinated life into the chaos of the world. This human being
has entered a completely unknown new projection of his
being.
This work is inspired existentialism, the authenticity,
modern digitization and archetypes of Christianity as the
house, the human being, the tree. How these factors work
together and how the individual changes under the influence
of these aspects. The main task of the designer is to realize
the concept of the present time and to further realize it in
visual images.
The main challenge in this work was to create
objects of high aesthetic value, to develop specific textures by
mixing experimental materials and details with traditional,
high-quality textiles, to create sculptural, graphic, yet delicate
works with intricate detail. In this work, by rendering through
textures, the aim was to depict the trends of the latest
developments in the world as minimally and concisely as
possible.
The textures of the materials in this collection have
an imaginative and symbolic content. Space blankets as well
as helicopters harness in this collection that were used in real
life in the army before as a symbol of solidarity with my
country – Ukraine in this war time.
The pieces are made of
combinations of experimental materials such as and military
harness helicopters and parachutes with organza, chiffon,
cotton, wool and velvet.
