The concept

My installation centers around using a "wall" of falling water for two purposes: as a metaphor for a physical barrier and as a screen on which to project still and moving images. The whole consists of two symmetrically placed installations, one on each side of the wall. One each side, there is a raised panel that opens up from the ground to a height the same as the section of the wall it abuts. The open side faces away from the wall, so that observers on either side are facing towards each other. Water is piped from a well underneath the structure up the inclined panel and exits at the raised lip of the panel so that it cascades like a curtain over the opening of the structure. Furthermore, observers can enter the cavity created by the angled panel and view the water wall from the other side (under the sloped panel).
