Every day there are countless elements around us that we overlook to some degree. We have become accustomed to their function, their shape and their common placement. Most of the time, we don't even think about giving them any worth or any aesthetic value. Sometimes, however, there are also deliberately reversed approaches, where such simple elements are underlined or highlighted, i.e. elevated in some way. I have tried to explore and apply this principle of "elevation of the simple" in my work. Based on the assignment, I have thus tried out different ways of working with the principle. Sometimes its presence was more apparent in the models, sometimes less so. In the final assignment it then became the main idea of the work.
