Re-posting "hidden" comments

Hi Musaab and Sana! Hope both of you've had a nice holiday.

Sana: nice start!

Some confused thoughts: What do you think about rotating the model so that the "divider" is vertical instead? Or maybe diagonal? Maybe that could be a way to emphasize the two sides, like the sides of a wall or a screen. Or is it important to keep the horizontality for the idea of the umbrella? Like a roof... (I'm just thinking out loud here, maybe it's a really bad idea)

Maybe the two sides should differ more, to emphasize the different qualities (beneath and above the umbrella)?

I will also try to post some sketches soon - pictures say much more than my words just did.

I would also like to add that I think it could be a good idea that we all write down our thoughts here, without considering if they are good or bad. Just sharing and let things develop.

Talk to you soon. Cheers!

Musaab: just posting a comment I sent in an e-mail to Sana, regarding her sketches.

My comment to Sana: it could be interesting to add some focus on the "sphere" of the umrella, emphasising that it is a sort of container or something that cuts through space (as you said, a dividing layer). That would also bring the non-electron scale qualities of the umbrella into the model... It could be explored in the way you suggested, and maybe also through trying to shape the model as a whole... Just a thought. Looking at your sketches, it feels like one step to take could be to "take control" over the shapes, but of course still try to keep the exaggerated flows.
