1 Final prototype of Falling Fall, 1:10 scale.

Falling Fall is a sculpture that visualizes the path a leaf takes as it leaves its home on a tree on its journey to the ground whenever the seasons change. How might we celebrate this transition from summer to winter by turning the motion of falling leaves into a solid form?
