“Progression to Depression”
My conceptual design is to become a physical representation of the female’s psychological journey from past to present. The design demonstrates how the female has spiralled down from a happy/ positive and free stage to enclosure/ entrapment and gloominess. The lighting reflects her situation and mood (bright to complete darkness as hole openings decrease in scale and space between bars decreases) Light/ opaque to complete darkness with almost no lighting whatsoever.
The building symbolises how the female has become a prisoner within her own mind. The base of the structure is where she remains psychologically trapped until she returns to her home town to form some sense of closure. The glass frame gradually darkens from first space to final. Each level represents each of her losses, each family member whom was murdered.
The stairs gradually “spiral” into psychological and emotional darkness and confinement. Once the female returns to her old home, a psychological ramp becomes present where she is then able to travel back towards her previous happy and content state. The ramp slowly progresses upwards which provokes the individual to reminisce on the past events and from some sense of closure.
