Artist Statement:
For my floating architecture piece, I took inspiration from the architecture periods of Asian and the Renaissance. Both of these forms of architecture use the similarities of being clean, smooth, repetitive, and having a uniform and symmetrical styles. To incorporate these styles, I wanted to keep the structure symmetrical. The curving part and top part of the structure was inspired by the roof style of Asian architecture, where they're curved and usually are decorated with small structures such as designs or statues. The triangle patterns were inspired by the designs of both Asian and Renaissance, having repetitive patterns in their designs. The color of white represents the cleanness of both architectures but also how the Renaissance style mostly used white because it reflected light and made everything glow in a "holy" light.
I called the piece, "White Palace," because it reminds me of a fantasy white castle that you could find floating in the sky.
