Paper is a most fundamental and valuable medium. With the way artists explore it, a single piece of paper can transform into fantastic art and contain numerous stories inside. The Artists that I am inspired by are Hari & Deepti.  Deepti Nair and Harikrishnan Panicker are an artist couple who create papercrafts. Their works do not only consist of paper. The artists put a light in the paper and create their world. I chose their art because I was attracted by their creativity and the depth of lights. Each of their works seems to illustrate an important scene from a certain story.   They cut watercolor papers and combine them into many layers in a shadow box. When they turn on the lights in the box, colorless paper suddenly changes into colorful and brilliant worlds, and there is even a splendid three-dimensional effect. sources: http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2015/09/hari-and-deepti/ http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2014/03/illumina

It is the first version of my project. At this time, I used snail modeling which has only one part, and height of ballons was all the same. This is a final piece After the critique, and you can see some elements are modified.  For this, I found another snail modeling, which has two parts.  Shell of the snail is slightly floating by balloons, and the height of balloons are all different. However, I think I need to do more practice with this tool.  I tried to make glowing those balloons and body of the snail, but layer colors did not work at all. I believe my works are communicated with remix culture by parody.   This work is inspired by Pixar movie 'UP.' In the animation, the main character made a flying house with
