Image essay #1

Nathan Sawaya, like any kid played with Lego’s. The only difference is it made it his living. His pieces are made for children and adults alike. With is characteristic texture that you can see, it encourages kids to keep playing with their toys and using their imagination while reminding adults of their childhood. The figures he created to scale with a real human being. It looks as thought the Lego man is trying to create himself, just like we all have to create what we end up as. Using simplicity with time and patience. The rectilinear shapes give the figure an abstract feel with a realistic look. It also has a different use of pattern in how the Lego’s are repeated throughout the piece.
