Blind was presented for my final project in Sculpture Department. The board of teachers came to view the work which was installed independently in the dark attic room of the sculpture building. When I suggested to wear the provided blindfold to experience the work, they resisted.
The board criticized the ‘look’ of the sculpture, visual aesthetic, craftsmanship, and the labor process of creating the sculptures. I failed the subject, which indirectly forced me to resign from the department in order to continue my study in Fine Arts.
However, the installation was open to be experienced by the public, where it received favorable feedback and appreciation.
