Princess Diana was known as the People's Princess, she won the hearts of everyone she encountered. She was loved because of her passion and ability to surround others with security and hope. Diana was a member of the British royal family, she went through hard times but managed to push through the negativity and rise above. She spreads her positivity through one of the many charity events she participates in like the HIV/AIDS funds. Princess Diana will always be recognized by her kindness and her desire to help others. |

Memorial
|
When making this memorial I wanted to focus on the hardships she faced while being secluded behind palace walls. I knew I wanted to incorporate a circular theme as it resembled who she was a person. I decided to add cylinders around the cube to represent her reaching out to the people around her and surrounding them. I’ve created them in different heights to let the public come towards them and be able to feel the water. Understanding that she is no longer here, others are now able to reach towards her themselves, which is why I made the cylinders this way. |
