Abstract
The urban jungle concept blends the beauty of nature with the structure of urban life decay, inspired by how nature adapts and thrives in unexpected spaces. While the jungle represents untouched nature, featuring trees, animals, and waterfalls, urban life is characterized by worn-out buildings, destroyed vehicles, and rusty pipes. This concept emphasizes that whether we add nature in our space harmoniously or nature uniquely finds its way like flowers bloom through cracks of wall, plants grow in humid area, or about nature flourishing in harsh environment in both condition nature and urbanity coexist, this project discover how both nature and city life have strong connection with each other by showcasing their calmness, importance and beauty.
The aim of this project is to discover the proportional equation between wildlife and urbanization, and bring out the combination of nature into cityscapes. Its objective is to encourage the production of eco-conscious projects by demonstrating how organic elements can boost the beauty of urban environments, nurturing sustainability and latest aesthetics. The goal of this project is to raise awareness about the importance of nature in an urban environment and its optimistic effects on both communities and individuals.
The plan for this project involves drawing inspiration from both jungle and urban life to create unique and meaningful compositions. Jungle elements such as forest plants, trees, bushes, waterfalls, and animals like tigers and leopards will be combined with urban elements like rusty cars, tyres, street lamps, flowers blooming in cracks, plants growing in gutters, wells, water pipes, tall buildings, tyres, and birds. These elements will be used creatively to showcase the harmony between wildlife and city life, which will represent painted compositions that reflect the beauty of the green heaven in urban chaos and the synchronicity of natural and synthetic beauty. The procedure will consist of extracting elements from comprehensive research and mood boards, creating open compositions, and developing fabric samples by using different techniques like tufting, fabric manipulation, felting, patchwork, embroidery, including hand and machine, with embellishment. These will form the foundation for my main thesis display.
This thesis explores the beautiful and everlasting connection between nature and man-made life, to raise awareness about the significance of greenery in cities and their positive impact on the surrounding environment and living things, by focusing on 3D panels of tapestry, fabric manipulation, and installation showcasing a realistic artwork through textile material. Through a blend of analysis and visual exploration, this study highlights the evolving relationship between nature and city life, showcasing the coexistence of organic landscapes with urban remnants and structures.
