Final

We designed a world where everything is ephemeral. Because of a monthly tsunami, everything in the wave's path gets demolished. In efforts to adapt to this extreme environment, the humans have created underground storage units for their buildings and houses to resort to during the tsunami. This way, nothing has to be rebuilt after the all-consuming wave crashes directly on top of where the city would have been.

I created a zoetrope-inspired device to  provide a visual representation of what happens during the natural disaster. It is more of a sculptural model than methodical one and it evokes emotion from its audience.
