For this project, my idea originated from a classic rock song by one of my favorite bands, Led Zeppelin. This story is about a character who has to climb the stairway to heaven. I show the long journey that they go through by engraving each step with a footprint. As time goes on, the character climbs the stairs faster and faster.

 

In theory the stairs were supposed to gradually unravel on their own, however, the speed of the motor was too temperamental to make slow enough for the desired effect. As a result, the steps were inconsistent in fanning out the way I would have liked.
