TEAM MEXICO
“Cenote Garden” 1st Place - Gold |
In the depths of
a natural cavern in the middle of the Mexican jungle of Yucatan,
thousands of human remains were found from sacrifices made by
the ancient Mayans in a ceremony called "jeets'lu'um"
which means: to calm the earth, in the midst of songs and bonfires
they launched live offerings from the cliff top inorder to calm
the cenote keeper: a terrigying underwater creature, a mixture
of eel, fish and feathered serpent that was believed to swallow
the children that swam in its crystal clea waters. The snow
sculpture of 3.5 meters high portrays the guardian of the cenote,
in the shape of a fish in attack position, the tail feathers
curled up high and the torso with irritated skin and undulating
fins. In its nose protudes an elongated bone like a horn that
ends in the shape of an egg, and inside which is the sacred
talisman. |

| TEAM ECUADOR “Organic Geometry” Artist's Choice |
To live daily with constat aggressive strong architecture structures and subtle soft organic movements that mix and create these abstract forms of inclusion that have become recurrent in my work, very defined lines that evoke the drawing in a volume, expressing the moment and the time in which I am living. Even more with the GEOMETRIA MUSICAL. The delicacy of movements and sounds that are not experienced in everyday life make this project rich in direct coexistance with nature and the architecture that surrounds us. That seduces charged forms of lilnes, curves, volumes that lead to submerge in the internal search where music is recorded, movements that when coerced with nature and mixed with urban sounds, near where we have our routine, these geometric organic rhythmic volumes that one plasma with solid material that later become musical notes that flow in space and combine to have their own language, leave the evidence that there is no better experience to enjoy the sound, and the sculptural movements that interweave in between of cement trees. It is possible to say that these vibrations created by the subtley of rivers, oceans, mountains full of plant life give me an inexhaustible source of ideas. These fossil sounds that have been discovered in our spirit have given away to being visible throught the volume with the architectural characteristics of our time. |

this sculpture is undoubtedly represented the most extraordinary
adventure and the most daring of all time; Send humans to explore
the cosmos where it is absolutely impossible to live there, where
the slightest mistake the slightest flaw is fatal. On this sculpture

On this sculpture is represented the only comforting thing; the
friendship, the complicity, the fraternaty of the astronauts of
all countries, the collaboration of the human, technical and technological
intelligences of many "competing" countries this sculpture
brins us back to our true dimension in the universe, that we are
nothing in this immensity. |

TEAM GERMANY-AGRAWAL “Folded II” |
It's all about Balance - Agrawal's work is attributed to the distinct principle of concrete are and geometry. Her temporary transitory architectural art installations are influenced by the concepts of concrete Art and minimalism wit focus on 'aesthetic essence' coming 'directly from the mind' - it's all about balance. The objects pla with statics, size and center of gravity. Agrawal's work subject is neither form nor figure: the sculpture shows something without similarities. The art of the sculpture lies in the geometric and graphical creation of order that creates form, surface and volume. |

TEAM INDIA “Unity in Diversity” |
India is known for its diversity, be it religion, culture, language, flora-fauna, geography, traditions and cusines etc. It's country of several religions; 6 major, out of which 4 world religions originated in India, and others that started elsewhere found fertile ground for growth here. These religions gave the path of enlightenment, inner strength andhumanity to the world. These not only coexistence for centuries but florish together in India. Thus, India is a perfect example of unity in diversity. Inspired by it, this design composed a monolitic form where the sun's six rays are faces of 6 major religions found in India and the gate represents the common path of enlightenment which all these religions lead to. This 'unity in diversity' makes India, which is represented by India Gate, an early 20-century architecture. |

“The Hidden Dance” |
Survivial is an art form. Every being knows how to survive, but can they effectively do their dance of survival? This dance for survival often has no witnesses, but that doesn't diminish the consequences. In fact, the most critical battles are frequently the ones no one else sees. |
