In response to the theme of object oriented ontology. I created a gallery of images which explore objects withering / rusting, more specifically it explores how objects can be represented whilst rusting. I created this using Maya & photoshop to create the model and materials, then used substance as a means of combining the two. By creating multiple designs for how a sword may rust away I argue that without humans to maintain and use an object, it ceases to need to stay in a form specific for use by a person, thus it continues to return to its most natural state. This can be represented by people in multiple ways which conveys the same meaning. Similar work has been created by George Hager who's work "Rusted Sheet Metal" also explores the effects that leaving an object without human interaction can cause. https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/rusted-sheet-metal-4fa58a383f494d7db337510d1c1bd5c8
