Influence is the union of power and purpose- understanding this key message is empowering. With A successful brand, the function is much more abstract. While many would debate whether being influential is as important as millions when measuring someone’s power, the inspiration that people with power and influence can create has the ability to educate a new generation of powerful leaders. To become better people after being uplifted by the goodness of strong individuals using their personal promise and insights to become successful and achieve their dreams, is the most important moral responsibility of the world's most successful people. To flourish in the freedom of achieving honesty, generosity, success and enjoyment in your life by making a mark in the world, by helping others or by making the most of personal opportunities, is empowering and no one can take that self power from you.

Environment- Death Valley, California

I have chosen Death Valley in California, based on America and Oprah Winfrey. I chose this Valley as I feel it is a little different and I like that its sand, as it's a different texture that I haven't used before in Sandbox. Also, this experiment is based on power and to me, the desert, and this desert in particular, strip humans of power as you are totally exposed to the elements and completely at the mercy of nature. Power is in the hands of the environment around you and it takes a certain strength and power of the mind to overcome the dangers it can pose.

Sketchup Model in Google Warehouse

http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=671895f3c371b2329c64787bf169646b&prevstart=0

Note: The model is in its separate component parts, with each component having their own texture.

Final Model

My final model clients were Isaac Newton and Sigmund Freud. The appropriate hypothesis' were:

Isaac Newton: Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

Sigmund Freud: The nature of man is to be selfish.

Electroliquid Aggregation: It is the nature of man's every action to react both selfishly and unselfishly.

Freud's space is quite large in comparison to Newton's space, reflecting the selfish nature of man, whereas Newton's space has equal but opposite horizontal and vertical elements- they are of similar length but varying width.

There is a winding path down to newton's space, which creeps up on Freud's space, the landscape attempting to overpower the space, a selfish act to reflect Freud. The path also supports the structure in addition to being an integral feature in it.

This is a daytime view of the whole space, with Newton's area in the forefront and Freud's visible at the back left corner.

A different angle during the day, showing the pathway flowing down from Freud's space, through the model, to Newton's space on the other side.

Night top view.

This night shot shows where some of the lights would have been placed. These two in particular would have been a deep royal purple, flooding Newton's space in the rich colour.

Looking up at Freud's space, standing on the edge of Newton's.

Looking through at Newton's space stretching out over the water.
