I created the Tunnel Project Model for my "Loss of Identity" themed IB Art Exhibition.
I created a model of the tunnel wall to display alongside the photographs, to add show the details in the wall pattern.
The gradual degradation of the fruit pattern not only resulted in the loss of shape, but also mixing of colors and sense of place in the pattern. However, I intentionally included a lone recognizable apple on the distorted side of the wallpaper to represent moments of lucid clarity.
To create the model, I used a combination of PVC pipe, acrylic paint, laser-cut paper templates, and construction foam that was cut, spray-painted, and dry brushed to achieve the desired effect.
