Two Describing Words: Relationship with Unity and Architecture Space


Artwork #1: "Nolli's Orders" 

Nolli's Orders 
Diana Al-Hadid 
Steel, Fiberglass, Wood, Foam 
156" x 264" x 228"

Element Principle: Intricate Structure/Shape 

In this piece Diana Al-Hadid uses many layers and forms by utilizing steel, fiberglass, wood, foam, plaster, etc. The intricacy in this piece is shown through the asymmetry and symmetry in her structures. All of the different shapes and forms in this piece have their own unique arrangement within the structure, but the directional flow of the whole piece are noticably very strategic and intricately chosen. 


Artwork #2: "Mother Splits The Moon" 

Mother Splits The Moon 
Diana Al-Hadid 
Concrete, Steel, Fiberglass, Chicken Wire, Paint
115" x 55" x 50"

Element Principle: Contrast 

In this piece Diana Al-Hadid utilizes contrast through the different shapes and elements. Starting from the top with the sharp flowing lines down, smoothness as you get more near the bottom, and fragmented edges to round it all out. She created this beauty by utilizing chicken wire, paint, plaster, fiberglass, concrete, steel, etc.
