Mao (#5) Sculpture

Made up of formal interpretations of the bizarre-as well as striking- "ugly", this study is essentially an experiment for reasoning and understanding the bodily aesthetics examples in deep seas through the human perspective. As aesthetics philosophy is envisioned as a multidimensional space sparing a tiny world for all fish species known, a quest for an opposite concept to the assumed "beautiful" requires-first and foremost-the testimony of physically inappropriate or extreme conditions, one and most of important of which is darkness. Since aesthetics primarily relates to visual senses, explorations of bodily aesthetics in darkness or under lightening conditions insufficient for human unsurprisingly reveal unpleasant. Despite the fact that light is among the primary prerequisites of life, existential solutions which life itself finds in darkness of deep seas are understandable, striking and even entertaining. Among the primary existential solutions are small-even accessorial-eyes; a digestive system starting with gigantic jaws and teeth to increase the success of catch in desolation in an existentially unfriendly habitat; dismemberment due to necessity of movement; and a bio-luminary structure for hunting, mating and overall communicating purposes - This environment and habitat unfamiliar to human not only fortifies the awareness of needs and prerequisites, but also crystallizes the conditions of beauty. Aesthetics of the ugly relates to the deprivation of the ordinary. For acceptable beauty, quality does not seem as important as quantity. Changes in the quantity of the deprived one or the invalidation of the definition of deprivation redefine the ugly. If what abundant today can be scarce tomorrow, then what considered uglier today will tomorrow probably bevalued as mere ugly-if ugly, it can be considered beautiful now." This inference once again validates the widespread assumptions on the relation of time and aesthetics. All these means can lead to an objective evaluation of the needs and existential reasons of the beautiful and the ugly.
