This abstract project was constructed using only black and white foam core material and hot glue. At the start I had no purpose in mind, and merely wanted to play with the enigmatic implications of stairs. I was inspired by the "upside down" phenomenon in the show Stranger Things and wanted to reverse the stairs at their center point of intersection. I began with the "X" shape and then added the stairs leading up to the middle, with each step being slightly shorter than the last in order to establish the illusion of distance. The stairs can rest in two positions (turn the middle image 180°) with both looking almost identical. I believe that this doppleganger effect adds a sense of being lost in the ascent or descent of the stairs. I myself am left wondering, "where might the stairs lead?"
