Current: Exhibit of Water Conservation
Tasked with creating an exhibit covering an ecological impact of water, my exhibit “Current“ explores both old and new techniques and systems of water and water conservation. It encompasses the feeling of these systems to the likes of irragation systems and sisterns. The environment is wet, and showcase different forms of water and ways it traverses the globe and our communities.

1. The “Current” exhibit is an educational gallery exploring methods both past and future of water conservation.
2. It is an artistic experience; the entire exhibit is surrounded by water in many different forms from liquid to vapor.
3. It is a mix because I want to imply the underlying theme of how much water we waste .
5. There will be a constant flow of people throughout the space.
6. The flow will be directed by having a looping path. I want people to “flow” amongst the water in the exhibit.

Beer Bottle Bathroom
Findlay Market in Over-the-Rhine, Cincinnati has a severe lack of public bathrooms for such a public space and attraction. This project transforms what is now a parking lot into two bathroom structures shaped as beer bottles, culminating Over-the-Rhine’s history and culture of craft breweries.
