Ribs of Steal

Steal

Undergraduate
My departure point of this project started at the beginning of my experimentation with metal. This being my second piece of metal work, I wanted to make a rib cage symbolizing protection and security within myself. I created these pieces using vectorized files and the plasma cutter, then welding/spotwelding them together.
