Positions through iterating

This project began with a photograph of a hen laying an egg — a strange yet fundamental image, containing subject, action, object, and context.

In the first week, I explored how a still image could be interpreted through 3D modeling by simplifying the form, reducing mesh density, distorting UVs, and restructuring angles. These experiments raised a key question:


During the simplification process, the UV mapping also changed, generating unexpected visual effects.As the number of faces decreased, the resulting images shifted from detailed and realistic expressions toward a more abstract and irregular language.

Based on the original Photo , I introduced local stretching, compressing, and twisting deformations.These operations altered not just the geometry, but also injected tension and potential energy flow into the formerly static surface.

Through controlled deformation, the work began shifting from a flat image surface toward a spatial language closer to biological motion.

In this stage, I moved away from the full model and focused on partial fragments, especially the back area of the hen.By changing the camera angle and point of view, I reconstructed the visual composition of the egg-laying zone.

This “restructure” is not about rebuilding geometry, but about reframing how we look at the form —like rotating a part of an object to discover a new visual entry point and spatial tension.

Building upon the restructured composition, I introduced the concept of motion.

By simulating internal biological energy flows, the structures no longer remained static, but exhibited growth, expansion, and sliding dynamics.

This phase marks the transition from mere image-based experimentation into the realm of spatial dynamic narratives.

It led me to shift focus from the image itself to the biological motion it implies — the internal action of laying an egg. I broke down this process into phases: bulging, sliding, and recovery. Through iterative modeling, each moment became a micro-sculpture — a frozen fragment of tension, not animation, but space.

This project investigates how motion can be spatialized and how form becomes a carrier of time and pressure. It also expands image interpretation through practice — using mesh, material, and form as tools to explore a new visual language where motion, structure, and perspective work together to reconstruct meaning.
