When it comes to aesthetics roots, my roots go back towards the middle east. The aesthetic in the middle east basically falls under the Islamic aesthetic which is mostly inspired by religion, language, and culture.

I decided to choose this video because it is something new to me. I know using resin is common sometimes but I did not know you can go as far as your imagination can. In my opinion, watching the video was really calming and satisfying as he keeps making his product look better and better.…

When Prof. Hertzberg introduced the upcycling project, I quickly thought about shotgun shells and how to use them. When I did…

To be honest, I was not very sure what I wanted to do for my upcycling project until yesterday. What I struggled with the most was narrowing down the ideas I had because the project has almost no restrictions or guidelines; we can do almost anything we want. Two weeks ago when we first were…

Johann Fanzo is a famous Australian firearms manufacturer. One very unique and a state-of-art shotgun they have manufactured is a four-barreled rifle-shotgun.

The firearm is being called the vierling,…
