Motion can be described through visual languages that may not necessarily involve time in a direct manner. This project is an exploration on how the motion and sequence of a cardboard box which is dropped from a distance off the ground can be explained in a static 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional form. The final product is again re-imagined and appropriated as a sort of a musical composition.

Drawing
Preliminary study - Moving through Space
Final Drawing
Final composition - imagining the feeling of being on top of the cardboard box as it is dropped from mid-air
Design
In this project, sound and motion are combined within a sculptural representation. The final product becomes a three-dimensional musical score which describes the details in the sound and the motion.
The resulting sound wave of the motion
Extrapolating shape out of the sound wave, with changes in angles that corresponds to the way the cardboard box bounces and tumbles
