"Home"

 Inspired by the song "This House that built me" by Miranda Lambert, I was able to create two dimensional abstractions that to me represented the song.  Taking the various two dimensional abstractions that caught my eye I took and started making into three dimensional abstractions.  By the end of this process I came up with the final model (shown in the last picture).  This model represents her song (in my interpretation) because the character she is singing about is lost and wanted to return home to find a sense of them self.  Therefore I made the upward spiral with a grey and blackish color on top to represent the grey area the character feels like they are stuck in.  Once the character goes home they are hit with a bunch of emotions.  Therefore I made the half a heart in the middle that is broken if you are looking at it vertically, but a heart rate of emotions if looked at horizontally.  Last this journey the character is on to find themselves has been painful but very beneficial to them as now they know  that the house was just a house, and although there was some hurt they can only go up from here.  Which is why there is an arrow pointing up at the end of the spiral and a purple tone underneath the spiral to represent a sense of calm and inner peace with the past.  Along with the spiral representing this, the inside broken heart if looked at vertically sideways also represents a staircase which represents their journey as the character climbs upward and grows as a person.  This project was very interesting to me, as the more and more I listened to the song the more creative abstractions I was able to come up with.  I am very happy with my end result as I feel I was able to represent all of the mixed emotions felt by the character and truly represent their home.
