Basically what i tried to do was create two spaces that were different from each other. I tried to convey the lower space as a dark, confusing room where it is very difficult challenging to navigate through to find the end of the maze. However the slits in the walls allow light to penetrate the room allowing for some guidance through the maze to reach the end. The dark confusing room represents the hard and difficult life that a peasant has and the maze further emphasises the nature of the family's hard life. However the light of guidance represents the faith and trust that the family must have to ultimately believe that where they are going will lead to a more warm and lighted area.
When the family does navigate through this impossible and challenging maze nearly reaching the end the family reaches a ladder which is rather difficult to climb. This suggests that the family's life will be filled with challenges before they can reach their final goal which is happiness, love and warmth. However once they do achieve to complete this impossible task they encounter a light filled room that is very spacious and warm. This conveys the notion that at the end of every tunnel there is a light meaning that eventually you will achieve what you set out to do. What i tried to convey was that the family's trust and love got them through the dark times and challenges and are rewarded with love and warmth conveyed by the light that is entering the room from different directions.
The material used was balsa wood and cardboard. Both these materials are very course in texture and this represents the coarse and hard life that this family will endure. The walls on the ground level are very thick to exaggerate the darkness of the building while being contrasted to the thin walls of the higher space to emphasise the light and the warmth of the building.
