About The Ray Brotxa

El Ray és una brotxa inspirada en un raig de llum solar que apareix entre els núvols en un dia ennuvolat. El color base de la brotxa és fosc, ja que la peça utilitza metall xapat en rodi negre i un diamant negre. Les gemmes brillants es combinen amb la base fosca per il·luminar tota la peça. Les perles aporten una lluentor suau, mentre que els diamants afegeixen brillantor al costat del metall fosc. La brotxa es va desenvolupar com un model digital tridimensional. El Ray mesura 50 per 30 per 17 mil·límetres.

Design Challenge
The most challenging part of this piece was transforming the dark image into bright object, still containing the dark element.

My research began first by observing the cloudy day and capture the moment of the ray that comes out from the cloud. After I understood the shape and movement of the light, I then researched how to incorporate and design a piece that is fine, and balanced. I researched everything using online resources.
