Recreating the iconic Alexander McQueen VOSS (2001) installation - The Glass Box using 3D modelling, 3D sculpting, and edited with VFX. The main composition is created on Blender and the character is created using
Nomad Sculpt on iPad.

THIS 3D RECREATION IS DEDICATED TO
LEE ALEXANDER MCQUEEN AND HIS ICONIC VOSS PRESENTATION IN 2001, PICTURING THE EXPLOSIVE ENERGY THE DESIGNER HIMSELF PUT INTO HIS WORK THAT IS EXPERIMENTALLY AGGRESSIVE AND POWERFUL. MCQUEEN’S VISION IS AN IDEAL DEFINITION OF CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION AS WELL AS A MOTIVATION FOR ME TO PUNCH THROUGH THE WALL OF BARRIERS AND CHALLENGE THE STATUS QUO WITH CREATIVITY.

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN, A BLOOMING BLOSSOM BEFORE WITHERING, A BEAUTIFUL SOUL THAT IS CRAWLING AWAY FROM THE FALLING EDGE. LIGHTING UP A FIRE AND BURNING EVERYTHING DOWN SOUNDS LIKE AN IDEA OF REBIRTH, WHICH IS A CHANCE TO REINCARNATE AND RECREATE THE WORLD IN ALL SENSES.

THE CREATIVITY OF ALEXANDER MCQUEEN IS LIKE A GRENADE THAT EXPLODES, FIREWORKS THAT SPLASH, HOT BLOOD THAT PUMPS THROUGH THE HEART. IT IS A LIFE PASSION THAT NEVER GETS OLD. THE ENERGY OF SUCH CREATIVITY IS WHAT MAKES HIS WORK SO FASCINATING AND IMPACTFUL TO ME. THE VOSS INSTALLATION, AS A PART OF THE SAVAGE BEAUTY SHOWCASE - A GLASS BOX THAT CRASHED INTO MILLION PIECES ON THE GROUND, FEATURING A MASKED WOMAN INSPIRED BY JOEL PETER WITKIN’S SANITARIUM (1983) SITTING INSIDE. THE SHOW CHANGES THE WAY I SEE THE WORLD OF CREATIVITY AND HELPS RECOGNIZE MYSELF AS JIMMYRECKLESS - THE ULTIMATE FORMATION OF MY OWN CREATIVE IDENTITY IN ALMOST EVERYTHING: ART, DESIGN, ANIMATION, MUSIC, FASHION, PHOTOGRAPHY. THROUGHOUT THE PATH OF SELF-EXPLORATION. THE DYNAMICS ARE LIKE ATOMIC BOMBS THAT BLOW OUT THE THOUGHTS BUBBLES EVERYWHERE.

WHEN I CREATE, I FEEL SUBMERGED IN A FANTASY THAT IS PERSONAL. THE JOY OF CREATING IS ALL I’M SURROUNDED WITH. THE BEAUTY OF CREATIVITY COMES FROM UNEXPECTED COLLISIONS ONE CAN NEVER PREDICT, AND VOSS IS THE EPITOME OF THIS PHILOSOPHY. MY CREATIONS KEEP ME ACCOMPANIED AND RELEVANT. I START MY DAY WITH CREATING AND END MY DAY WITH CREATING. THROUGHOUT THE PURSUIT OF CREATIVITY, SO MANY PEOPLE TRYING, SO MANY FIGHTING, YET SO MANY QUITTING. I FEEL LUCKY THAT I’M STILL GOING BECAUSE NOTHING COULD SEPARATE ME FROM CREATING.
