Organic Shapes - The Giving Tree

cults3d

Submitted for the #POLYMAKERCHALLENGE Created in Autodesk Maya, this 3D model is to remind us that nature gives and continues to give, which is why we should really take care of the environment. Originally created as a candy holder for the office, and a functional work of art , the branches spur from the ground, and grow to form human hands. Leaves "grow" out of the hands, to emphasize that humans are also a part of nature, and the ecosystem. The hands are stretched out to emphasize that we (humans) are always wanting, but we are also capable of giving. The hands are meant to hold the bowl, which in turn holds whatever you want to put in it (small packs of candy works best). The overall shape takes on a female figure to remind us of "mother" nature. Interestingly, this model printed with PLA is totally compostable. Please vote for me and share for the world!
