When does a material get pushed too far? This project begun with the obeservation of the interaction between ink and water, and the subsequent models, drawings and animations serve to illustrate this phenomenon. The moment I chose to focus on was the tension in the last moments of the transformation, right before the last bit of water succumbed to the ink. It was challenging in these studies to express a specific quality of a material, without it breaking, tearing etc. The same forces of push and pull were expressed in a diagram documenting the shift in position of people standing in line, as passers-by continuously cut through to get to the other side.

The project proposal was for a market, in which stalls are arranged along a platform that cuts in and out of the landscape. This sequence terminates in an space open to the sky, with a balcony that overlooks the hill below.
