This is the starter project for Senior Studio I. We are tasked with designing a place to give birth and a place to die. We started with designing a lamp to help build our concept. When making my lamp I thought about the similarities between water and life:
The rectangular form of the Plexiglas represent the things in life that are unchanging. Life has a beginning and an end, the in between is what is variable and unpredictable and what we have sometimes have control over. Life is dynamic, fluid, unpredictable, and sometimes circular (or can seem to be).
The visual and auditory stimuli are calming.
Water is used in many religions. Christianity uses water in baptism, a ritual cleaning of body and soul. The act of becoming pure. Nearly every culture and religion has a myth about a Great Flood that was sent by a higher power to cleanse the earth of human wrongdoings.
Total build time: approx. 8+ hours (not counting drying time of glue).
