BMW X Life concept

The ‘X-Life’ sculpture started from the premise of creating “poetry in motion using the BMW philosophy”, says graduating Art Center student Yasuhiro Sato.

“The entire process consisted more of sketch models instead of actual sketches. I studied different design processes from product design and architecture.”

Sato looked into the definition of motion from both a philosopher and a physicist’s perspective and found that there were differences in opinion.


The sculpture also follows Sato’s view on life: “we are all organic and flexible when we are born but as we grow older we get stiffer, which results in our bodies breaking apart”.
