Madrid-based NastPlas — a duo comprising of illustrator Fran R. Learte and creative director Natalia Molinos, deliver a series of surreal sculpture ideas that explore the human condition. Strongly eerie and ethereal, the capsule draws on vulnerability, "weakness and fragility." Embracing the ominous, dream-like aesthetic of the surrealism movement, NastPlas is able to evoke curiosity and emotion in its audience.
The setting of the surreal sculpture exploration is the dessert — a "landscape [that] is almost naked, with a scarcity of vegetation." Juxtaposed with the distorted human component, the backdrop allows for viewers to focus on the centerpiece and potentially decipher the intricacies of its meaning. With a powerful emphasis on color palettes, NestPlas is able to instill a potent feeling.
