Table Idea on SketchUp

The centre acts as a combiantion of the opposing power as the curves that represent Kerr extend out to create a jagged edged shape that represent the obstacles of Keller's power.

The curved representations of Miranda Kerr and her smooth path to power

Table and chairs:

Boxed representations of Helen Keer that can be dismantled and adjusted according to ones needs.

Bridge and Office Idea on SketchUp

The Bridge

Supported by its own structure. The power and strength of the bridge is able to support itself.

Space for Miranda Kerr
Open space to define her power as an external trait as well as accompany her Buddhist beliefs of spirituality (being exposed to nature).

Space for Helen Keller
Closed space to reveal her inner power. Stairs and boxed shaped represent the obstacles she has faced This is parralled to her filled out work space exploring how she has overcome these barriers and achieved power through literature and political activities.

Combination
A neutral bridge to combine the juxtaposing definitions of power of the 2 clients.
