Formative arts fabrication (27 entries)

This artwork explores the harmony between mechanical precision and fluid artistic design. Built on the principle of a traditional self-balancing toy, the entire structure stays upright—supported solely by the tip of its leg.

Through rigorous center-of-gravity calculations, the curvature of the steel rods and the counterweight of the lower bolts and nuts were finely tuned to create a graceful, continuous swaying motion. By incorporating industrial components into a dynamic human figure, the piece transforms cold, rigid metal into a living, balanced sculpture.
