About Cascading Canyon Installazione artistica
Cascading Canyon è un'installazione artistica ispirata al Grand Canyon. L'opera è realizzata in carta ed è interamente piegata e assemblata a mano. Più di 40.000 moduli di origami modulare di tipo Sonobe compongono le superfici, uniti tra loro tramite alette e tasche integrate. L'installazione è progettata per uno spazio di 8 x 4 x 8 piedi ed è composta da tre elementi: uno sfondo, una grande roccia e una roccia più piccola utilizzabile come seduta. I visitatori attraversano l'ambientazione e ne osservano forma, colore, luce e ombra, ricreando la sensazione di muoversi all'interno del canyon.

- Design Challenge
- The hardest part of this art installation was to transport it from one place to another. But with a little bit of brainstorming, we were able to figure out the logistics for packing and sending it to Delhi from Jaipur.
- Research
- For thr research of this installation, I took help from varios picures of the Canyon on the internet to get inspired by the forms, colours and light and shadow. I also read about the Canyon, about its history and how it was created.
- Inspiration
- The Grand Canyon inspires this art installation where in the idea was to recreate the feeling of walking through the canyon by bringing in the elements like the form, the colour as well as the light and shadow.
I've never visited the Grand Canyon myself, but I've always been captivated not only by how stunning it might appear surrounded by those majestic, almost divine rocks, but rather by the potential emotions it could evoke in me. - Project Duration
