Stockpiling paradise
Tools and machines conceived through the straightforward logic and rationality on which humanity has relied on for generations as a mean to building our own ''utopian'' world has failed to deliver a true paradise. Stockpiling paradise supports an investigation of complex solutions such as those found in nature, attention to the human scale and the individual as a propagating force, and ultimately beauty in ideas.
Replacing the simple logical array of rows and columns typically associated with stockpile organization, the barrels of stockpiling paradise are arranged in a manner that appears complicated and capricious. However, the complexity of this arrangement is a reflexion of a type of natural order derived from organic growth described by the Fibonacci sequence which delivers numerous discernable paths that permit greater flexibility and usage patterns. Overlaying the plan with the distribution of seeds in the face of a sunflower and the pattern becomes clear and recognizable.
Rather than stockpiling resources to sustain the falling ''utopia'' created by humanity up to this point, the storage barrels in stockpiling paradise carry individual sunflowers. Raising each flower to the height of the average human adult gives them human scale and allows the visitors to interact amongst them ''face to face''. In this place, as equal individuals, each visitor and sunflower exists as part of their own ''garden'' and carries with them thousands of seeds that, with proper exposure, holds the potential to change and rule paradise.
