Concept Transformation
From my research, I
found that horses where always related to honour, wealth and power as seen in
the Godfather to be the most precious thing one of the characters possesses. In
“Gladiator” two horses are the emblem on Marcus Aurelius’s breastplate while in
Troy a horse sculpture is offered as “peace offering”.

After looking at the way transformation happened in each
case, the one that fascinated me the most was the Trojan horse. I followed the
same concept as with the Dragonfly table
by Emile Galle, where something from nature which is free and dynamic, is
transformed into something which is rigid and unnatural. I kept the idea of a table but instead of
being refined as Galle’s was, mine would be done using drift wood and without
too much detail just like the Trojan horse’s head. The table top would be made
of smooth glass to contrast with the rough and uneven texture of the drift
wood.
