The Rose

Like the desert rose of an exotic land, her posture tall and delicate.
Her small, curvaceous form longing for attention and affection lingers.


Concept design for the rose, beginning with an outline of an open rose, to a more defined room shape and finally the developed concept. The reason why the rose was initially chosen was because roses have connotations to romance and having those underlying feelings of tension were overwhelming in Hopper's painting.

The follow are the sheets I pinned up for the studio presentation:

I did not lavish the floor with plan with furniture or any other household items, merely just the bed. This way, it makes a direct message to viewers of what kind of room this project is.








This is a little something I threw together to show you guys the model.



Overall, I am quite pleased with the way my narrative turned out. From a shaky start with rigid components to a delicate and voluptuous shaped space, it really developed. Although I definitly agree, the roof structure should have been more sophisticated, the circles of the rose had ascending heights as it drew closer towards the center and the roof pieces should have done the same... an ascending roof would have really made this project. Still good though :)
