Week15 - Final EXP3 Submission - Zhang Yin


What I tried to convey with the glass step is the courage needed to do what she has done when she and her husband first started their company.

Among the world's riches people, Zhang Yin is said to be one of the most private, an example of this when a newspaper was going to publish a list of the riches people in China, she asked her lawyer to stop them from doing it. What I tried to do with the windows is show that private side, with odd shapes connecting to each another, never showing the full interior.


When the stock of her company first went on to the Hong Kong stock exchange, she made over 100 million dollars in one day. The stairs with its exponential rises shows that stage in her life.

In the article that I read in preparation for the mashup, there was a section that mention how she promoted her son to a high non-executive position within her company which shows how important her family and her company is to her and her aspirations. I'm using something really simply to show those two issues. A central pillar support the structure (her family/company). A glass ceiling, which shows her aspirations for a distant goal.
