'Weaving without weaving' and 'metalwork without metalwork,' I explored the application of textile techniques, 'weaving' to industrial materials, aluminum, as the FLAT project. This challenge pushed me to investigate how a flat material could be transformed into a three-dimensional object in just five weeks during the first semester.
Traditionally, weaving has been known for its ability to produce intricate colors and patterns on fabric, while aluminum weaving serves a unique purpose in creating form and structure. For my contribution to the project, I chose aluminum as the primary material. Leveraging aluminum's strength, pliability, and ease of shaping, I embarked on the creation of ‘The Metal Dress Fruit Bowl.'
