HATalk Competition Entry 2024
Vlasta Šuhajdová
Description
Water is an element that is constantly in motion and cannot remain still. moreover, it is clear, but reflects the reflections of the sky and other objects that come close to the surface of the water. Without water there is no life. I was looking for a way to materialize all these variables. I chose the material crystal resin from which you can create a splash of water and thus create water in motion. It is transparent, but it can also be colored and I chose tones of blue for it, as if the sky were reflected in the water. Resin is not a traditional hat-making material, but working with it proves that hats can also be made from this material. When a drop or any object falls into the water, the splashing water actually creates a crown, which forms the basic element of the traditional headgear.
