Reflection: Our group met twice, once on Friday to discuss our plan for the visual and once on Saturday to put everything together. On Friday we each described what we did for our personal research and how everything could come together as a whole. Most of our group members had 2-D elements like pictures and posters, so we decided to collect a few more 3-D elements. It was nice to bounce ideas off of other people. I was not sure how I wanted to display the water samples I collected, but after discussing it with the group we decided to combine some found water bottles, from consumption, cut them up and use them to hold the water. They were clear so you could clearly see the difference in water samples.
On Saturday we met early, around 8:30 AM, and started to play with the materials we had collected. The posters from activity/community were arranged into a large circle and the footprints were placed to look like a winding path upwards. Originally we were going to hang the water bottles, but the plastic strips we used for string could not hold that amount of weight. Instead we used pins to secure the bottle directly to the wall. we then hung strings with wrappers from the bottles to represent consumption.
