Caryatid
This project began with individual studies of historical caryatids, analyzing their geometry, proportion, and structural role. Students translated these observations into collages that reimagined the caryatid through contemporary mechanical systems.

Working in teams of five, three hybrid systems were developed and integrated into the final proposal, Caryatid 09. The project explores the tension between fluidity and rigidity, using the caryatid as a metaphor for control, beauty, and societal expectations—questioning how cultural and environmental conditioning shape the body and identity.
