About the Project
More and more people are choosing to procrastinate. And people always think that procrastination is a negative thing, people scoff at procrastination, and they think that those who like to procrastinate always get nothing. However, this is not fully true, there are many famous people in history who are famous procrastinators. One of the most famous ones is Da Vinci. Da Vinci created countless wonders of the world in the process of procrastination. And Leonardo's procrastination can't be called negative. In today's life, people always put too much pressure on themselves. In their lives, the pressure does not give them any meaning to live, but rather mediocre death. For some people, the more pressure they have, the more they want to procrastinate. Such procrastination is actually two completely different concepts from Da Vinci's procrastination, one is negative procrastination and the other is positive procrastination. What I want to express in this project is that people do not need to push themselves too much. Proper rest and giving up are also a kind of self-salvation. Positive procrastination will bring more meaning to people.
Explanation of the Creation
The spring represents the procrastination group, the weight represents the pressure in daily life or work, and the guest represents the family members or friends who are around the procrastination patient who could help them take away the pressure but in turn, put more pressure on them. These 'weighing weights', which could also be called 'pressure', should be easily removed, however, they were pressed down by the people around them with greater force, causing the procrastination patients to collapse due to excessive pressure.
​
Two springs are used to represent different procrastination patients, one is positive and the other one is negative. The positive spring will generate inspiration stars by itself in normal times, but it will generate inspiration faster under pressure and will not be destroyed or overwhelmed by pressure. While negative spring will generate lines representing negative psychology in the body, and the lines will increase as the squares increase, but when the squares accumulate to a certain extent, the spring will fail to support and explode.
​
Still use two springs to represent different procrastination patients. The positive spring will produce inspiration stars both inside and outside. When there is stress, the stars of inspiration increase, and help speed up the solution of the pressure square on the body. The negative spring will generate both inspiration stars and negative lines in the body at the same time, but as the pressure square increases, there will be more and more negative lines, fewer and fewer inspiration stars, and fragments of the spring, and finally, the spring collapses.
