Hummanaya is a natural blowhole, and caused when sea water rushes through a submerged cavern and is pushed upwards. The sea water flows underneath the shore, and then comes out of this hole due to pressure. The water fountain created by the geological feature shoots up every couple of minutes, depending on the nature of the sea, with the spray often reaching as high as 25 m) to 30 m.
This blowhole is the only known blowhole in Sri Lanka and it is considered to be the second largest blowhole in the world. The word “Hummanaya” refers to the noise, "hoo", that can be heard a distance away when the blowhole is active.
CONCEPT / IDEATION Chose a metaphor of Urban Jungle to come up with an unique product form
This project was a small attempt to interpret Urban Landscape in a positive sense. Urbanization is a glittering representation of growth, affluence and success of mankind. This same can be said of the man behind the CEO’S desk. The glass of top quality is manufactured by a special process, which renders images of exclusivity, power and ability to stand apart. The understructure brings forth images of urban architecture in the form of structural elements symbolizing sprawling modern architecture, skyscrapers, freeways, and background chaos.
WORK TOP: MATERIAL : Special glass which imparts warm feeling at the same time renders images of exclusivity.
PROCESS:Molten glass laid in Layers, with colour frit formed rendering at each layer, to create a depth.
UNDERSTRUCTURE:MATERIAL : Aluminum and Titanium
PROCESS:Investment Casting
SURFACE FINISH:BLACK ANODIZED
CONCEPT / IDEATION Chose a metaphor of Free Form Family to come up with an unique product form
Metaphor used for this project is Arch and Lemniscate. The understructure is in form of a sleek arch form. Arch meaning about openings, beginning and stepping through certain perspectives to see what's on the other side. Arches also talk to us about opportunity. I'm wild over doors, windows, arches because they symbolize a universal law, which is "There is always another way." On the top of the arch a lemniscate is created. The lemniscate (also known as the infinity symbol) is a geometrical representation of the endless and eternal nature of energy. The symbol meanings of this emblem serve to remind us of the infinite nature of our spirit, as well as our thoughts.

An album that belonged to my husband's grandmother. Like a scrapbook it contains cards, handwritten notes, etc. which are all decorated with pressed flowers, ferns and leaves. A treasure.
CONCEPT / IDEATION Chose a metaphor of Arch to come up with an unique product form
The metaphor used for this project is the arch and the lemniscate. The understructure is in form of a sleek arch, with a lemniscate residing on top. Historically the arch represents a gateway to heavens, and has been used often in structures and monuments. To me, arches talk to us about opportunity and offer different perspective to different people. The lemniscate (commonly used as a symbol for infinitely) is a geometrical representation of the endless and eternal nature of energy. The form as whole symbolizes the infinite nature of our spirit, thoughts, and potential.
