T is for Tornado is a speculative installation designed as a pseudo-educational, tornado-themed “play station”. It imagines a child at play, staging miniature scenes of destruction using the provided collectible storm components on a modular racking system reminiscent of science fair displays. 


A toy remnant wall of storm-ravaged homes can be accessorized with materials from the debris kits, including roof insulation, snapped trees and branches, concrete rubble, and more. A tornado itself can be dissected and examined in the forms of a 5-Piece 3D Tornado Puzzle & Tornado Slices. A set of Hailstone Figurines is scaled and arranged according to a common classification system for hailstone sizes.
