My model consists of six three-dimensional stars made from metal mesh, each filled with chaotic red threads and surrounded by shards of glass. The model serves as a visual and tactile reflection of my experience listening to “Firestarter” by The Prodigy, capturing the intense sensation of being pulled and stretched by the relentless and mesmerizing beats, along with the confrontation brought by the stubborn lyrics.
The stretched threads represent the raw energy within our bodies, which is strong and bold, mirroring the feeling of muscle tension that the song evokes. The sharp glass shards enhance this metaphor, suggesting a raw energy on the verge of explosion, striving to break free from suppression. The metal mesh conveys a sense of confinement, while the sharp spikes along the stars' edges evoke an unapproachable, aggressive quality, reflecting the inaccessibility of the song’s genre to the average listener.
Inspired by the physical sensations and emotions elicited by the song, I aim to express the chaotic nature of inner energy and the struggle against societal constraints, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the chaotic beauty that music can inspire, as well as the desire to break free and release that raw energy.
