Gradiva by Dali

Intent

I want to create a reaction with buildings that are purely masculine. Perhaps my building will sit next to them, touch them, or be intertwined within them.

"Gradiva" influenced many painters, thinkers, etc. Freud was fascinated with how the women's locomotion expressed meaning in the work of Gradiva.

Statement

I want to explore the porous, curves, and sensuality and contrast it with the nonporous, rigid, and rough.

Study this for awhile... so neat.
