Above Ground

I want the viewer to imagine how this structure continues underground.

Above Ground · James Payne / Bxiie45-second CAD study · Muted playback · Continuous loop

Repeated steel members turn around a shared spine, forming a low sequence and a taller fan. As the model rotates, the members overlap and separate, revealing the structure from different positions. The ground interrupts the form, leaving the viewer to imagine what continues beneath the surface.

Proposed material: painted steel in green, yellow, white, and grey. The grey rectangular plane in this CAD study represents the ground, not a plinth. This is a design study of an unrealised work.
