Helen Keller's Office Space

The above image shows the entrance corridor. I wanted it to be completely covered in brick, filling in the gaps of oppression and disability. although that fullness expressed by the wall creates a dark passage for the majority of others. I wanted this to express that we will never really understand Helen's view of the world as she experiences it through a different mid set.

The branches engulfing Helen's office have a dual purpose. Firstly to represent the different connections she made during her education, ( almost representative of the brains path n thought patterns); and secondly for practicality.
each wall is textured differently, providing a physical map of the different rooms, providing a physical/textural map of the spaces. The only smooth wall is the elevator platform running right through the building.
