The Museum of Mysteries
The Museum of Mysteries is an art project designed for first-year students in the INDA preparatory course. Students were initially provided with a 2D image, which served as a reference, and were then encouraged to create a 3D artwork in their own artistic style.
Upon receiving a surreal space image, I had a realization that its elements could be transformed into contour art. I decided to print the image on multiple layers of paper. Carefully cutting each layer, I assembled them, resulting in a contour paper art. To enhance the structural aesthetics, I incorporated balsa woods by cutting and adhering them to the contours as decorative elements..
The perspective view of contour papers
As I envisioned the transformation of this contour art into a surrealistic space, I found myself immersed in an otherworldly realm. This inspired me to conceive The Museum of Mysteries as the expression of this extraordinary place. To bring this concept to life, I took on a digital journey. I captured a perspective view of the contour art, and added elements such as people, lighting, and objects using Photoshop. Additionally, I recolored the entire atmosphere to evoke a sense of wonder. The culmination of this workshop resulted in an artwork that blends physical and digital styles.
