Compression & Expansion

Compression is the process or result of transforming the nature of something into smaller size or volume.







Expansion is the the process or result of transforming the nature of something into bigger size or volume.

This is an example of expansion in design, named as Mass, 1997. It was made by UK conceptual artist Cornelia Parker, constructed from the charred fragments of a church that had been struck by lighting.
The Mass seems to present the event in suspended animation supported by fine steel wire and cotton thread, the hovering sculpture appears weightless, caught at the moment of explosion.
