    This series takes Le Corbusier's drawings for an Olympic Stadium in Baghdad as its point of investigation. Each sculptural piece renders an element from Le Corbusier's architectural drawing into a 3D object installed on the wall. My work highlights the use of the Stadium as a sports training/torture camp by Uday Hussein in the 1980s and 1990s. The sculptural elements are thus scaled to reference the human body. The circular piece visible in the slide for instance is scaled to fit an average human neck.
