La isla de los lagartos (The Island of the lizards)

by Manuel Marín

Description

Life seeks the most simple ways toward efficiency. In this case, these lizards are a cylinder with variations. The form translates into volume, which in its variations presents itself as Figures. Every figure has volume that has height, width, and length, all which interact together. Form, figure, volume, simplicity, variation, variables. The combination of all of this helps us to appreciate the beauty in animals’ bodies. 10 paper cut- out sculptures to assemble the lizards.
