Abstract

For my bachelor’s thesis, I chose to immortalize my significant other in the form of a cast tin-bronze figure set within a fictional scene. While the scene itself remained in a state of flux from the very beginning, the figure had a distinct narrative. The concept of the figure combined kinetic art in the form of a mechanical heart that mimics the movements and sounds of the real counterpart. The technique used to create the metal sculpture is known as vacuum casting. The result is undeniably a parallel between the work and the story that essentially constitutes the entire project; the real story does not end as long as the narrator lives. I have outlived my bachelor’s thesis, and it, too, does not end with the final word. The figure, though without a mechanism, has been created, and the scene is yet to come.
