Iron
I grabbed the outside-looking forms of the muscle men and the muscle women for calquing the linguistic concepts of the body figure by these two upholding hands: the characteristics of the stable standing, and the information of health and strong, confidence and glory; the strong thick muscle and the exaggerated rough expressions are particularly to demonstrate the outlines of body figure and the powerful characters. The forms of these pieces seem as a glory character. Meanwhile, it embodied the extended meaning of an ideal and perfect concept, and it emphasized that this kind of body figure is an unreachable state for the normal people.
Nowadays, the muscle man or the muscle woman is belonging to one of the circles of Kitsch, which is a cultural production of the urban developing civilization after the industrialization.
The transformational representation of this piece is made with the thick plate iron pieces through the outside line images by using the technics of oxyacetylene cutting and welding.
The body is particularly set and stacked into a variety of recycled steel forms, which is constructed together a steel world that is formed by human and materials.
