Personal Waterfall

Personal Waterfall 
Wood, plexiglas, water, pump 
w35"x d35"x h78"
2006

Personal Waterfall is a prototype for a mobile shelter for a stressful urban environment.  
Inspired by "Social Withdrawal" – one of the most remarkable social phenomena among younger generations in Japan–, Personal Waterfall functions a temporal hermitage to calm down and relax.
The viewer can enter behind the waterfall and sit on a built-in bench to face a wall of water, which flows down from a plexiglas reservoir placed on top of the wooden structure.

This piece will be developed and exhibited for Wright Biennial at UCLA in September, 2009.
