Finalised UT2004 Submission

'Electroliquid aggregation':
No self-respecting man, whether hunter, doctor or policeman, would shoot a mother with a baby. But still it happens, along with the occasional nurse. The devoted and obedient are just easy targets.

The stake which protrudes through the rectangular prisms symbolizes ‘meat on a stick’ and then through its intersection into the protective box-like structure, enforces cruel violence on innocent beings. Bloodshed is suggested by the unsettling red lighting.



This ramp portrays how the pure are vulnerable to merciless violence; the walls surrounding the ramp - metaphoric of protective mothers and nurses - are unsettled by the stakes that protrude violently through the structure.


This ramp captures the strength of Feminism; to defy the degenerating, patriarchal view present in the quote, it defies its confinement as a small tower in the largely ‘male’ space. Thus the ramp is curved – to celebrate femininity – and spreads out until it dominates the space.
