The Drops

 

The approach to the creation of a model, as far as I am concerned, comes from my passions, that is, from my hobbies, but also from the Lego sets that I like most and create emotions in me.

So for this model I was inspired by a passion of mine that for more than forty years, with ups and downs, has accompanied me in my daily life and especially in my holidays: photography.

There is one however, the model I created concerns a photographic style and genre that is not in my ropes because I am not very patient: the Still Life.

In still life photography, the aim is to create a document that highlights the most important attributes of the subject (generally an object) photographed: this can be done with the creation of a purely descriptive image, which therefore tells a single shape or a set of objects and that is pleasant to see, or through the creation of an artistic photo,   which therefore has a conceptual or symbolic level of description and which adds a different meaning to the chosen subject. In both, the technical difficulty in making them can vary depending on the final idea.

 

I wanted to recreate a two-dimensional image made with a precise and difficult technique, in a three-dimensional work that was able to reproduce and reproduce the beauty that our eyes see when looking at this type of photograph.

For this reason, I recreated a container in which I inserted colored bricks that define the still water, the crown that is generated at the moment of impact and the stem obtained from the upward thrust of the drop.

I believe that the creation of this three-dimensional composition of an element that our eyes have only seen through the camera but which then translates into a two-dimensional print, is a nice model to celebrate a photographic technique and the Ingenio of the photographer, but which is not only for photographers but for all those who appreciate art in all its forms.

 

Made with the study program are 290 bricks for a size 24x24x8.8 stud.
