FABRIC CONSTRUCTION
Guided by Arnab Senapati
The objective of the course was to create textile surfaces inspired by objects from our childhood, using various textile techniques and materials.
INSPIRATION
GREEN TURBO SHELL
Green turbo shells are a type of marine gastropod mollusk known for their distinctive appearance and vibrant green coloration. These shells typically exhibit a smooth, spiral shape with intricate ridges and whorls, providing both structural strength and visual interest. The shade of green can vary, ranging from soft pastel hues to rich, deep tones, creating a visually striking contrast against the backdrop of the ocean floor.
​
In addition to their striking color, green turbo shells often feature subtle patterns or markings, adding to their aesthetic appeal. These patterns may include fine lines, spots, or swirls, further enhancing the beauty of the shell.
