Forces- According to season, how water level changes. -Climate
After observing my site, I noticed that the water in the salt pans is never still. It comes, goes, and disappears with the seasons. The lines and boundaries made by humans keep changing their meaning as the water level rises and falls. During the monsoon, when the rainwater collects, the grid of the salt pans slowly disappears, turning into a flat sheet of water. as season changes, the grid begins to appear again, taking back its form and pattern.
This movement of water also changes how the land looks and feels. The soil stays wet for months and then cracks open when the heat returns. The vegetation along the salt pans grows quickly during the rains but slowly dries up and sheds by summer. These repeating changes show how the place keeps shifting between water and land, between stillness and movement.
Within the shifting water levels, a structure which is not enclosed but a semi - open embedded in the grid and elevated in levels, which expands as the water levels changes.
