Elevators and dining table

Map of crysis environment showing paths of Kerr (white) and Keller (pink)


Elevators:
Miranda Kerr: looks like a flower. This representation of Kerr is very literal, much like what the fashion/modelling world is like sometimes. In this world beauty does not extend beyond appearances, and this is certaintly evident in the flower inspired, red/pink/white elevator. The path of the lift is like a catwalk, ending in a platform like rock form just before reaching the dining table. Again, this is a very literal interpretation of Kerr.

Helen Keller: Made of rope. Rope is a recurring image throughout my exp3 design, symbolising her life journey and how she had to create opportunities by herself drawing on her own characteristics/qualities. Rope was also used for practical reasons- Kerr is both blind and deaf, but she is still able to feel the water moving around her as she drifts above the river in the lift. The path of the lift follows part of the river and is winding, symbolising the twists and turns- the challenges she had to face. 'Hills' are repeated in Helen Kellers bridge.


Dining table:
The shape of Miranda's side (the pink side) is quite conventional- simply based on a star. However the intricate pattern suggests that although she is a supermodel and valued for her looks it shouldn't be assumed that there isn't more to her.
Keller's side of the table is more original and complex to symbolise all she had to do to earn her power.
