A passage of time told through materials.
The project illustrates the 78.74 year life expectancy in the US, the passage of time through the controlled erosion of soil, the aging of building materials, and our natural tendency to collect objects. The material palette of earth, concrete, steel and brick reflects the desire to show aging at different intervals, both through environmental degregation and human wear and tear.
