Experiment 3: Valley + Waterfall

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRO2Yrr-Ww4
Introduction:

My valley was inspired by the Huon Valley of Tasmania. The narrow river would run along the curved path of the land with thick vegetation surrounding it from both sides of the river. However I purposely made my valley a little harder to move through at the beginning. I made trees hang over the river and I made a pretty dense path. This is demonstrated above. The purpose of this was to demonstrate Keller's Struggle which I maintain is her source of power. This path would be symbolic of the countless number of struggles Keller had gone through in her life. However as you keep pushing through suddenly there is a breathtaking opening, where the valley opens up into a massive area. This was to suggest two things. Keller's success in finding her power and the lead onto the sublime nature of Miranda Kerr's power, which revolved around the idea of aesthetic visual beauty.

Conclusion:
This video continues to show the open area where the valley leads onto, and it further shows the connection of the two waterfalls. I wanted to demonstrate this sense of power using the terrain, hence I dedicated a fair amount of time to create these two waterfalls face to face. The idea was so that the clients, when taking an elevator from the bridge together pass through the waterfall and feel its sense of power. Although Helen was blind and deaf, the elevator was designed with open room and side spaces so that the cold sprays of water and sudden change in atmosphere would enable her to feel the power of this waterfall.
