Form studies from the first year

During the first year of my bachelor program I was assigned to do a simplification of an organic, living piece of my choice. I picked the pineapple since I've always liked the patterns, the colors, the taste and the fact that they don't actually look like you've imagined in your head. They are in fact much more complex. This is my trip towards deeper understanding what I see in the pineapple and my way of trying to communicate that.
