?!? What and Why?!?

What is my work:

Its a basic extension of the body for protection and the setting of the pieces environment is a post apocalyptic setting, much like that of the recent film "I am legend".

The amour I made was comprised from several different objects I collected from my apartment, tins and fabric even an old long sleeved top.
It represents the true nature of adapting and the survival methods we as humans evolved to.
Creating objects into new fabricated ones using the base properties is no new feature but the way I adapted and reformed the ideals of recycling were somewhat different

As time goes on mankind will continue to adapt to its surroundings and conceptually speaking we shall evolve our understanding of our environment and how to use it better.

A first step to becoming a successful race is that of which can adapt quickly and change with its enviroment before problems end it's very existence.

There was another side to my work, its the decorative side I researched from different eastern culture artist's, looking at slightly more impractical amour thats also decorative, something well achieved by the Victorians. The fusion of decoration and high quality workmanship into the form of protective amour and weapons spawned a lot of styles for our videogames, the biggest example is final fantasy and its series of games.
