FORM AND EXPIRIENCE

THE GLIDER

​

The Form and Experience module was an exploration of how emotions, imagination, and character  can shape spatial ideas. We began by reading a poem from Sukumar Ray’s Abol Tabol — a playful and nonsensical piece that was HIT AND MISS , challenging our usual ways of understanding.

​

My response started as a drawing — an attempt to translate the poem’s mood, character , and absurdity into visual form. From that, the process evolved into designing and crafting a prosthetic glider, built for a class performance. The glider became an extension of the body — both poetic and functional — capturing the spirit of flight, whimsy, and transformation.

​

This module taught me how form can emerge from experience, how stories can be embodied, and how performance can become part of the design language.
