Beer Bottle Water Bells (Minor Scale)

In reading El Sur, I liked the abstraction of the water note of the cistern. Although I have no musical background, I always wanted to make a musical instrument. The bottles you see are filled with different volumes of water. The more water you add, the lower pitch you produce. The ripples are associated with the notes and the type of frequency they produce. Bass notes have a very low amplitude while treble has high amplitude.

Unrequited Love

Both reading had the same theme of unrequited love. I wanted to capture that feeling (of a shattered heart) in an architectural fashion.

Some of the best things in life are Free

In the reading, Leopoldo Lugones - Coplas, the author is a poor man who is pursuing a girl. She does not care about how materially wealthy he is, as she tells him that he is "Poor, but a generous guy; Just like the tail bone, not much meat, but full of flavor..." I wanted to relate to how the poor romanced, as I am a poor college student. Poor people can't afford expensive dates, so they go to places that are free. The bridge is something of public access yet it provides an awesome view. In my own experience, I had some of the best dates going to places like this.
