This sculpture represents my traits of "Industrious" and "Hyperactive" that leads to "foolish, slack off ". Industrious part is represented by grids of horizontal and vertical lines. Hyperactive is represented by angular, diagonal lines, then slack off to surrender to gravity. I am constantly building something, but sometimes that does not have clear aim or goal in large picture, simply coming from my hyperactive nature. So these traits are totally binary and related. Instead of building constructively, my industrious nature may be distracting and sometimes things fall apart and slack off. Also I am aware of my rigidness and often wish to come out from box.
