Genesis was inspired by a John Mayer song, “In the Blood”. In the song, Mayer questions his ability to be unlike his family. A line in the song says: “Could I change it if I wanted, could I rise above the flood?” By interpreting these lyrics both literally, and metaphorically, the final concept and form language of Genesis Table represent my interpretation of Mayer’s words.
In the final prototype, each of the layers rotate, which is symbolic of the word Genesis. To change is to create a new beginning in a way, and each layer rotates to fit the space which it is in.
