Concrete: A Data Research and Visualization Project
MOTIVATION
The project Concrete began with a simple moment: while collecting small stones in front of my house, I accidentally picked up a piece of concrete, mistaking it for a stone. When I realized that it was not a stone but concrete, I found myself thinking, “It really looks like a stone.” This led me to a series of questions: What makes a stone a stone? Why can this object not be considered a stone? Interestingly, the concrete itself contained many small, real stones. Despite holding so many stones within it, why can this mass not be a stone? As these questions accumulated in my mind, I began this project as an exploration of what fundamentally defines a stone.
