Ethics

THE POINT IS TO EXPLAIN CONCEPTS BY THE MEANS OF A STORY THROUGH OUT THIS AREA
IN A MANNER THAT THEY ARE INTER-CONNECTED BASED UPON ONE SINGLE FOUNDATION.
The artwork consists of several stories and reference gathered and put into a minimal design artwork.
E T H I C S
scene 1
The idea was conceived on a red light, waiting.
The scene toys with the idea of ethics while drawing a parallel between three types of people approaching a red light.
In this scene, there is a red light with an indefinite number of minutes to wait.
Capture
1 - Ethics - Chaos
Scene Explanation
Approached the light and could not decide to go ahead and break it or stay put. After being manipulated by his conflicted thoughts, pursues to break it - ends up creating chaos for the rest of the drivers going about their ways as well right in the middle.
2 - Ethics - Unethical
Scene Explanation
Approached the light and goes straight ahead, disrespecting its authority.
3 - Ethics - Stop
Scene Explanation
Approached the light and just stopped and waited to proceed when it is time.
It takes ethics to stop when you know you need to, it is hard to actively make decisions adding up to the bigger picture.
Being taught to see and experience life in short terms of gradual growth can disable you from putting things in an ethical test run and often either create chaos or be easily unethical.
Conclusion:
This displays ethics and patience containing three characters, who runs - who stop - who creates chaos
Since there is an indefinite timing it is hard to pick which option to go with
All of them end up in different situations but the one that makes the stop makes gradual growth towards the destination with no chaos or unethical tactics

scene 2
The idea emerged out of the initiation of the project itself, in a battle between trying to tell a story
and the thoughts dragging themselves in an endless loop of expeditions spanning into different ideas.
Kanye West, Runaway
Music Video
The exact keys played in the beginning of this song, is used in the artwork below.
The idea of that music piece is sampled into this art's minimal design, referencing to a deeper feeling,
Representing an artist's creativity and frustration being converted into a product that, expresses
his or her -- emotion(s), and helps resolve conflict with deploying
all of that energy into a physical extension of music itself.
The Piano in this case.
Conclusion:
This displays a musician releasing all his troubles and frustration in a piece of music’s physical extension (i.e. the piano)
The grand piano itself is used by him to express his emotions that he just can not express verbally, to be easily understood anymore.
A creative outlook is hard to fathom and digest through our daily life eye; but the vision of it is all it takes to pursue the type of passion and unique output that can not be matched or contained for long.

scene 3
The idea emerged out of thinking in a monotonous situation.
Discomfort and adaptation.
The scene is to be looked at from the bottom - up, the triangle that is upside down at the bottom
depicts an entry gate into a situation inflicted by a bunch of troublesome worries.
These worries might be a product of the situation you are facing right now, in the present - the mind is reluctant
to get over the thought of it and consumers most of your mental space because you let it happen. It is how we are raised.
Andrew, Caravan
Music Video
The liberating moment with no other option than, popping out of your safe bubble.
The idea is used to music piece is used to express, the emotion of the artwork.
1 - Comfort - Entry
Scene Explanation
The pointy edge on bottom is the entering point and widens up into a triangle shape -- that depicts your problems broadening as you go along with it.
This is where you need to realize that you take control of things -- it is you who generates and makes the thoughts to be in your head and not the other way around.
2 - Comfort - Exit
Scene Explanation
You approach the last stage of clear headed determination. Nothing can stop you now from focusing and achieving the best.
The triangle depicts the broad scope of negative thoughts and doubts that worry you closing up, and finally you shoot out of the horizon into one narrow direction with a strong mindset just like the tip of the triangle.
3 - Comfort - Travel
Scene Explanation
As you enter, you see a narrow passage of self doubt and troubles, one might feel overwhelmed and claustrophobic here -- metaphorically speaking.
As soon as you get out of this zone, you enter the next phase of the turn and realize that the only change is the situation and everything else has always been constant -- this helps soothe your uneasiness about it and move on from the shortcomings holding you back.
Conclusion:
This represents the road ie. new and shady to the rider so it is always scary and makes one feel hesitant to take.
But if this is the only road you can take and you have set your mind to it, it gets easier in time to take the same road because you get used to it.
Approaching anything new at first can be an intimidating experience, getting used to it and realising how you can make the best of it is how people outgrow it and move on from the intimidation for good.

scene 4
The idea emerged out of curiosity. In a battle between finding
hope to succeed and dealing with the cards you are dealt with.
Eminem, 8 Mile
Audio
The train sound in the beginning was a big part of listening to this everyday on a station, and realizing the hustle life demands.
Looking at your situation and life in general, differently from above; and rising above your apprehension.
The emotion of that music piece is sampled into this art's minimal design, referencing to a deeper feeling.
The Rhymes in this case.
1 - Perspective - Situation
Scene Explanation
The three boxes depict three train coaches, these are supposed to portray specific point in time i.e. Past, Present & Future.
The subject is in the present coach trying to guess what the future holds, or the past that he or she has left behind.
The alignment of the coaches are not straight because it depicts a turn in its motion on each ends, mirrored making it hard for the subject to see past a specific point making time in each direction a mystery of the situations that it holds.
2 - Perspective - Realization
Scene Explanation
The three boxes depict three train coaches, but this time around; they are put into perspective at an angle seen from above.
The subject looks from above now, this makes it easier to analyze the situation he or she is dealing with. Putting everything in place all at once.
3 - Perspective - Realization
Scene Explanation
The vertical line depicts the subject in this situation rising above it's current situation just to make themselves see what they are dealing with.
The subject looks from above, making things clear and conceive the revelation that the coaches are interconnected with a destined path no matter what, taking upon it is the only option and is not that difficult.
Conclusion:
This revelation brings great joy, putting things in perspective can help your troubles feel tiny and even help one figure their end point in a troubling experience.
Some experiences can be troubling while you are going through them, but it gets easier by putting things in perspective and realising the true tone of what you are dealing with.
Q U O T E
Took straight from Richard Feynman's Documentary,
and used to express the concept of these artwork.
Richard Feynman, The World From Another Angle
Conclusion:
The quote is originally taken from the documentary about Richard Feynman’s life. It justifies all of these artworks as well.
The context here for the quote is simple. Every problem had one of these broader term solutions. It took a curious enough mindset and wanting to look for answers -- to be able to understand the concepts in such a manner that it could be understood on an easier basis.
Even though the artwork is contradictory to the statement, the point behind using this art style was building curiosity and being able to look at it differently every time unlike a definitive figure of objects placed precisely.
