Ok this is the rough idea and i will build on it later when i have time - i want the thick branches at the top to wrap entirely around the length of the bridge.
By incorporating oriental design and revealing a transition in the twisting structure from thin and weak, to thick and dominating, i desire to portray Zhang's growth from nothingness to power. The base represents her past of poverty and cultural inferiority, as a Chinese living in America. However at the top where the twisting structure is strong enough to support her office , it symbolises her current state of power due to wealth and Chinese dominance of industry.
The elevator is supposed to travel AROUND the twisted structure but for some reason i keep bumping into something and falling off...so it currently just travels in a linear fashion.
Again orientalism has been incorporated into the elevator base, where the cylindrical poles are supposed to resemble bamboo, another traditional chinese material.
