-This picture shows two different shelves stacked on top of each other to make a taller shelf.
Representational
-This represents multiple shelves with differently shaped grooves to put in files or papers, and folds and ledges to place different objects on top of. It can also be used to put books and decorations on it. The two individual shelves are stacked on top of each other to form a taller shelf. The impact of the representational level is the function, which is to place things on top of it for storage or decoration. It relates to both abstract and symbolic levels by giving its object its purpose so that the other levels can build on top of it with its purpose in mind.
Abstract
-The abstract aspect of the object is its different parts that make up the whole object. First, they are abnormally shaped which are different from the typical shapes of shelves. Second, they can be taken apart into two different parts and when stacked together, it manipulates the viewers by making it look like it’s one piece. It is related to two other levels by having unique details that also can be used by the other levels. The different artistic details such as grooves can be used as functionality (representational level) and stackable nature creates another shape that’s symbolic of another object. It is very simplistic by having minimum materials and craftsmanship which makes it very modern and abstract. The angles of the metal give it a kinesthetic quality as well.
Symbolic
-The symbolic aspect of this object is that when the parts are stacked up together, it makes it look like a big cabinet or an art exhibit. As a whole, it resembles other furniture such as cabinets but it is actually a shelf with special details that can make it subjective. The different abstract details resemble an art display or other furniture (Symbolic). This resemblance to an art display adds on to its functionality (Representational).
