Abstract
This project includes a 3-dimensional adaptation of Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper," highlighting struggles with mental health and women’s empowerment amid patriarchal oppression. The use of a 3-D model of the story gives the viewer a visual representation of the narrator’s mental and physical decline. Representative elements of this decline include the use of a chest and a string stretched across the “ceiling” of the room, which visually convey the narrator’s feeling of being trapped. In addition, the room's tainted appearance and the visual of a woman in the walls allow the viewer to imagine the narrator's mental, emotional, and physical state throughout the story. Adapting "The Yellow Wallpaper" into a physical model allows a wider range of viewers to interpret the story’s message. Essentially, the adaptation brings to light the gravity of mental health, with the goal that viewers will reflect on the significance of mental health and oppression.
