the stairs here revolve around the idea of what embracing is. embracing in my opinion is something that is optimized where there is a journey apart from your embracer, say your parents, they will embrace you more when there was a time spent separated. as you can see from the stairs represents the journey of peak embrace, it starts off a journey together and then separates into 2 and 3 staircases which is the stair of separation and ultimately at the top of the stairs it comes together as one which in my opinion is a perfect example of embracing stairs. the design of the stair may seem common but i concentrated more on the motion and the thoughts that comes to mind when walking up the stairs and the feeling you receive when you are reunited with your partner.
this is a simple design. the inspiration comes from graffiti itself. graffiti generally is commonly based on spray cans, this design represents spraying the paint on a wall and the excess paint that is made dribbles down the wall.
it was hard, designing this stairs... i thought to myself what represents a fish the best? and i thought of water but then it will be hard to swim. then i thought about the streamline of a fish how easily is glides through the water and thought of a water slide which in my opinion generates the journey of a fish the best. the design is circular because of the fishes memory how they can always spin around the same glass bowl everyday because their memory is so short i did not make the slide very steep because i wanted the participant of the water slide enjoy the paintings and the space below so it will be a slow, relaxing and somewhat a fun journey down.
word: staring
these are the staring staircases. the white one you see behind the translucent one is a random set of blocks and curves that causes one to stare at them because of the randomness. it was quite hard thinking of something that people will just stare at especially the design and i thought a random set of stares in a circular room would cause a person to do so. the translucent one at the front is a spiral staircase completely made of glass it has a entrance at the bottom and no exit at the top, this is because when looking at the work of art of Ron Mueck the person in side the staircase will be helpless but stare at the work. i thought of this because there are literal situations when we just "stop and stare" at a situation of something Ron Muecks sculpture will captivate this experience more.
