Assignment : Individual
Studio Instructors : Khondaker Hasibul Kabir, Rahat Mujib Niaz

The brief for this project was to select a dance video, study its movements, beats, rhythms, and most importantly, its emotional essence, and then transform these elements into a 3D composition that captured the dance’s unique spirit. I chose a contemporary dance with geometric movements performed in a dark, mysterious ambiance.

My initial concept was to compose various objects that depicted the movements within a dark-colored box, illuminated from the back to evoke a sense of mystery and illusion. Later, the project evolved when we were asked to create a more interactive installation within the studio space. In no time all the suitable spaces got occupied by my peers and i was left with nothing exiting!
Back then, I was just beginning to understand the concept of “thinking outside the box,” and one day inspiration struck! What if I placed my project outside the studio window? By wrapping the window in black paper and using tracing paper to filter the sunlight, I could create the desired effect while making my installation unique and innovative.

With my teachers’ approval, I constructed the composition using cardboard and supporting frameworks outside the window. The interplay of natural light filtered through the tracing paper transformed the installation, introduced dynamism with the movement of viewers, creating a captivating and ethereal atmosphere.
