Project Overview:
Title: "Large-Scale Wall Sculpture Installation for a Biotech Company"
Brief Description:
This project, inspired by Kellie Gillespie's Under/Over/Medicated sculpture, involved the design and installation of a large-scale wall sculpture for a biotech company specializing in infectious diseases. The sculpture conceptually depicted the rings of pill bottles as cells within a body, with medical pipettes arranged as star-like structures to symbolize viruses. My responsibilities included the initial concept design, 3D modeling, material selection, and overseeing the installation process. Due to confidentiality agreements, the specific client name cannot be disclosed.

Design Process:
Concept Render:
The design was inspired by the cellular structure and the dynamic interplay between cells and viruses, reflecting the biotech company’s focus on infectious diseases. The use of pill bottle rings to represent cells and medical pipettes for viruses created a visually compelling narrative that aligned with the client’s work. I utilized software such as Blender and Adobe Illustrator to create the initial renders, ensuring that the concept was both feasible and impactful.

Acknowledging Artistic Influence:
Inspired by Kellie Gillespie's Under/Over/Medicated, which explores themes of medicine and community, this project adapted those concepts to depict cellular structures and viruses, aligning with the client’s work in infectious diseases. The use of everyday medical items transformed into an artistic representation of the microscopic world emphasized both the beauty and complexity of the human body’s interaction with pathogens.
