I started this project Princess Diana as my main subject. However, as I continued the project I realized I was hitting a wall because I had a difficult time coming up with a “harsh” environment. Then decided to start from scratch and decided to go with SpongeBob. I watched SpongeBob for a long period of my childhood and felt that this would be a great opportunity to pay him a little homage. SpongeBob is a very interesting character because since he is in fact a sponge, he must always be surrounded by water or less he won’t survive. Due to this inconvenience, SpongeBob does not enjoy the perks that dry-land has to offer. I immediately thought of a snow-globe and my whole design took off from that idea. I wanted to recreate his home environment so that the globe would not just have a technical function so I included not only his home but also his neighbor’s houses as well as vegetative motifs. I also focused on the internal environment rather than on the external because he would be spending all if not most of his time inside the globe. The globe functions as an over -craft vehicle capable of remaining wet inside while still being able to navigate on dry land. Widgets inside the globe include large touchscreen flat screen that controls the vehicle’s function and a Wii game console.
