Drip, Splat, Boing - Initial Concept...

One of the ‘no-answers’ philosophical sort of question of my life which I’ve been looking forward to get some answers :“Why is it so hard to build, where as so easy to destroy?”

In other words put, if you would have ever noticed, it is very very difficult to build anything, where as it is very very easy to destroy. Doing something negative/evil is always easier. Being positive/good is the hardest part. This particular thing relates to every thing you see around, be it in friends, dating, trusting someone or even something like technology,architecture,etc..it is always always has been easier to destroy rather than keeping and maintaining it. The funniest part is that it always becomes like a never ending cycle.

For Drip, Splat & Boing, I would try and portray the same. Initially I’d problem relating these three words with the complete concept. After talking to Matthew & Leoni, I think I’m a little more focused on how to  delineate it.

Here’s what I’ve come up with:

• I’ve to stop being technical in every approach towards any form of art.
• Definitely need to think outside the box.
• Meaning of the 3 words:
• Drip can be defined as a drizzle (as in drizzling of rain),boorish, stupid & boring person. After consulting a thesaurus, it seems that the word drip is associated more with negative characteristics of a human being.
• Splat (splatter) can be defined as splash, douse, make something wet. It can also be linked with making something dirty,smear. Splat is also linked with the word Drip.
• Boing is a versatile word. It can denote a bouncing action. It can also be linked to sexual innuendos, a male erection. It also relates to an expression or sound effect of showing something interesting.
• A quick tutorial session with Leoni helped me to make the concept a little less vague. She gave me some really good ideas on how to relate these words. One of them was showing the formation of Stalagmite with dripping of Stalactites. It was a wonderful thought – simple yet intriguing enough to transcript the underlying concept.
• I’m still on the process of researching & coming up with ideas on depicting it with some form of emotion based on relations.
