I began my concept planning with first thinking about the transfer of energy and how the law of conservation of energy is impossible to subvert from in reality, and only possible in augmented reality. I thought about how each ripple forms a pattern of the same shape, with only the size of each ripple changing. This then got me thinking about family and the similarities within families.

Its interesting how and which genetics are passed on and which do not. It is also interesting how genetic features may skip some generations but may reappear further along the family line.
Although each hoop is a slightly varied and unique shape, its overall shape is still similar to all the other hoops to which it is connected. In the same way, we are all similar to those in our families regardless of how unique, rebellious or different we may try to be. We are similar not only through genetics, but through our behaviour and attitudes.
Artistic Wormhole
" a beautiful mathematical construct…
a
reminder that we perceive beauty in the emergent patterns derived from simple iterative algorithms (shells, organic growth, life, culture, evolution)
The Wentletrap shell takes its name from a “spiral staircase” in German-Dutch, and it reminds me of the architecture of Gaudi"
This artistic wormhole got me thinking about how I could represent the similarities in a family through a repeated pattern. Each generation's exhibit of the repeated pattern may decrease overtime, but nevertheless, is still evident.
This fractal pattern shows how nature exemplifies patterns and similarities through growth.
This image of the evolution of men is significant in my concept as it highlights how some aspects carry through generations, whilst others are neglected.
This aboriginal artwork demonstrates family connection. Although I have not had much experience in studying indigenous artwork, to me, this artwork explicitly portrays the links within family. Family members may change, shown by the different lengths, widths and brush thickness and design of each section of the artwork, but ultimately, are still all connected.
I am unsure of how a cactus grows to look like this, but when trying to find imagery for my concept on evolution, the past, present and future, this cactus seemed to suggest something of a family- with the biggest part of the cactus, the core of the cactus as the ancestors and past generations of the family. The little cactii surrounding the core are all relatively similar, showing a family line.
These two photos of the famous Afghan girl show her as a young adolescent and again many years later. In a documentary regarding the Afghan girl, the photographer attempted to find this girl who he had taken a photo of many many years ago, with no information on her except for the photos he took. Using the photos taken, technology was able to predict what she would look like now in her conditions.
I thought this was particularly interesting as they had no knowledge of her family, but were able to use her old photos and what they knew on hereditary genetics to assemble a possible image of her face.
