This representation project focuses on reinterpreting a painting from The Metropolitan Museum of Art through a 3D model. I chose Georges Seurat's "Circus Sideshow (Parade de cirque)" from Gallery 825, with particular emphasis on its lighting elements. To begin, I visited the gallery space to create sketches and used virtual measuring tools to document the dimensions, including height and length, while taking extensive photo references.

The second part of the assignment involves using the chosen painting as inspiration to create a reimagined gallery space. My design concept is an immersive environment that incorporates elements of water, waves, ocean current sculptures, and staircases. Lighting plays a dual role in the space: it serves as both wayfinding for visitor paths and as part of illuminated sculptural elements. The large illuminated sculptures function as structural columns while creating dramatic visual effects. These column-like forms are surrounded by frosted glass panels that diffuse the light, creating a spectacular atmospheric environment.
