Romper Las Reglas

To follow or break

To adhere or to step out

Are we all so blind?

Hey there. So i found this bottle of mine from a few years ago  (well i don't use it anymore cause it's broken, yes pun intended). So for me, this bottle has broken the rule of how a bottle should look like. Basically it is designed to shape like a canned drink how cool is that? And no i'm not kidding, the brand's name is Coolgear. It doesn't get any better than that :') 

So my five due designs that broke the rules are finally in. First and foremost, the quite vague topic of breaking the rules can be sorted into so many categories and can mean literally or figuratively, however you take it. So let's see shall we?

Centaur - Clare Walker

Sculpture by artist Clare Walker broke the boundaries of the nature of a human being, being half human and half animal (most of the time the half animal would be of a four-legged mammal) and is quite common in fantasy movies which actually would somehow become a "norm" in the near future.

Dali Atomicus - Salvador Dali

This was a pre-exhibit image of what it should look like (before the wires were removed). So one of my personal favorites from my favorite artist Salvador Dali, is of these surreal (obviously) sort of world where gravity is completely forgotten for a brief moment. That itself has broken the rules of gravitational pull and even of exhibits itelf.

Feet on hands (Mutated and Deformed Anatomy) - Alessandro Boezio

So this is one of the more disturbing sculptures by artist Alessandro Boezio of as the title would suggest, mutated and deformed anatomy of mostly the human hands and feet. Having a foot at each end of a finger, yes pretty disturbing and at the same time breaking the rules of human nature. No person would have suggested that this is a norm.

Pop Art Head - Roy Lichtenstein

This piece of sculpture by Roy Lichtenstein would be one of many famous pop art sculptures all around the world but on a personal note, pop art, as I have come to know, usually are on paper and illustrated, not in three-dimensional form. On that note, it has broken the rules of what i deem to know pop art as.

Serpentine Tables - Chul An Kwak

This furniture design by Koren designer Chul, visually and proportion-wise, has already broken the rules of furniture design( not that it is not common in furniture designs that rules are broken) but I feel that this somehow links back to its origin (in a sense that serpentine legs for the tables looks like roots of trees where the wood to make such tables came from). Get it?

Do I break away

Do I just go with the norm

Or to take a stand?
