Product

To make the product, I decided to use paper mache. I realized it would give me the most freedom with the form I wanted to create, and all the materials were readily available in my room. The product itself basically has this irregular structure with many protruding points and towers of different sizes. The irregularity of the structure is supposed to represent how irregular this piece is for Abel Tesfaye, and the many points and towers are there because the clip to me felt like this ball of energy that was exploding out in different directions which is what I tried to represent it as. Though the structure is very rough-looking, the surface of the piece is very smooth to the touch because, as with all his pieces, False Alarm still has Abel's recognizably soft voice that smooths over the underlying structure of the audio.
