Recent design school graduate Marte Haverkamp has some fascinating obsession with shadows. For her thesis project Marte decided to look deeper into her obsession with this abstract idea and realized what made them so special. “I found out that shadows do something no other product, human or animal can. It easily follows floors, corners, products. It seems fluid as
it moves smoothly over various surfaces,” said Marte. After observing the shadows of as many different objects, Marte materialized what she was seeing into a whole new group of objects. Objects that perhaps have no function for now, but that will eventually be translated into practicality.
I really enjoyed this study and concept. I mean isn’t that what school projects are all about. Now that Marte is in the real world she is trying to function in these forms, now isn’t that the real world? 🙂
