My instant sculpture

For my instant sculpture made from household items, I decided to use my perfume collection as my theme, because I believed using something I love to create my sculpture would be interesting. At first, I was trying to stack them as high as possible, unfortunately I can't. Due to their very own shapes and weights, it make it very difficult to balance them up. In the end, I decided to stack and balance them base on their own flat surface. As I am working on this sculpture, it remind me of playing jenga, because it also require me to practice on my perfect steady hand skill in order to create the stable state for my sculpture or else it would fall fall and fall.
There are two main artistic elements I found as I am working through my sculpture, and they are shape and balance. Each perfume has their very own unique shapes defined by line, colour, texture in the surrounding area, which inspire me to create this abstract sculpture ( kind of abstract, I believe ). As for balance, this is consider as asymmetrical and informal. Meaning the objects are not evenly and equally balanced from one point, which again make it hard to stack. This type of balance is unusual and intriguing, just like my perfume sculpture. :)
