The Pressure of Ambition

The Pressure of Ambition is a series of interactive VR artworks that change form to the movement of the user. Each oppressive monolithic artwork forces you to find the position it wants you to be in, by making you pay close attention to the form that the artwork takes.

Being an industrial designer, I often had to put an intense amount of effort in researching how certain designs were percieved by others. The higher I climbed, the greater the pressure. When that pressure eventually led to a burn-out, I decided to express my feelings through this game.

The journey I made from losing control to (almost) total recovery thus gave way to the 6 stages of thought loops I get stuck in. Each sculpture is also paired with a small thought that always kept repeating itself over and over.

I really hope these sculptures allow you to feel the feelings I did, and even if you think these are just the vague animations of a madman, feel free to share your opinion!
