CH- 4 Architecture

The neoclassic Romanian Atheneum, constructed in 1888 by French architect Albert Galleron, is home to the George Enescu Philharmonic Orchestra. There are elements of cantilever components; comprising of a overhanging beam supported on one end. Stone material was the element used, my guess would be for the optimization of acoustics.
I found the structure beautiful and artistic with such fine detail and use of stylistic architecture.

CH- 3 Sculpture

          

Angel statue in the graveyard of Trizic, Slovenia on the gravesite for Leland Stanford Jr. This is a Full round sculptural work. It is three dimensional intended for viewing from any angle. This piece has an obvious meaning and focal point. Losing their child at a young age, this sculpture is intended for relief of grief that children are in the arms of the angels after passing from this world. This sculpture just struck me in a way that was beautiful and in keeping with my beliefs that although it is a tragedy for anyone to lose a child, it is comforting that they are in God's hands.    

CH 2- Pictures

Gwillim Lakes by Steffen Sauder - This photo was taken after a high tide in British Columbia, Canada. It is a photographic image based in nature. I chose this photo because of the symbolism it creates. This photo presents the idea that even on unstable, uncertain ground, in solitary, something can flourish. It represents, I think, all people at some stage in life. When we're surrounded by high tide, dangerous or hopeless situations, we can thrive and stand all on our own.
