angry cement >:(

The goal is to create the feeling of anger through castable materials. I came up with the idea of creating a group of cement cubes and convey anger through disrupting its surface by adding additional materials or changing the object’s shape. Anger holds a series of different qualities, which is something I was trying to capture through the objects. The ideas come from different inspirations (e.g. graffiti wall with half-peeled posters, cracked white walls that’s turning yellow etc.)
