South Korea Really Out Did Themselves

HyunDai Pavilion Yeosu

This is Hyundai Motor Group in South Korea and Unsangdong were the architects.
I picked this building because its very unique and the body reminded me of a hot tub or Jacuzzi. According to the writers "the architecture is combined with imagination of new future waves and the motion of Hyundai Motors Group". "The building has sections of various waves, which signifies three dimensional “Blue Ocean Wave” movements which is overlapped and connected". "This also connects with the architectural expression of constantly changing corporate brand image". I think if the were really trying to grab people attention they really did because just looking at the building makes me want to just go there and look around.

Awakening 3

Awakening III, Mark Yale Harris

Designer: Mark Yale Harris
Name: Awakening 3
Sculpture: Bronze on Bronze
Size:16 H x 13W x 7in
Symbolizes: awakening to one's self. Waking up! The power in knowing yourself, your body, your needs and desires
My opinion: When reading the Arthur opinion on the meaning of this sculpture I was blown away. When I look at this I would think more of frustration of a woman. A woman being tired of going through whatever problems she is having. I would also look at this sculpture and would say maybe guilt or being ashamed of something because of her head being held down.

Be careful who you put your Trust in to

Gun-Handshake-War-Peace
This drawing symbolizes war. (Peace not War) I believe it was put together to show that sometimes the people who are supposed to protect us are the ones that kills us or break us down. It stimulated me because there is violence happening everywhere in the world right now. The biggest talked about crime is the shooting in St. Louis with the African American teen who was shot by a police officer. A police officer job is to protect citizens from harm and that's what we Trust them to do but as shown in media that Trust was broken when the teen was killed. I think this drawing also tells that the world is changing everyday and no one is safe no matter the place or time.
