PERFECTION & IMPERFECTION

The Project explores the idea of perfectionism and the types of diagnoses that exist through a research book as well as 3D printed sculptures.  The sculptures are based on three types of perfectionists Self-Oriented, Other-Oriented, and Socially Prescribed. Visualizing an intangible human trait is a difficult process, by using geometric shapes the main characteristics of each type is evident in the sculpture.
