Cat and Rat Zodiac Narrative Enclosure
Made by Lizzie Li and Evelyn Valdez.
Video of our project functioning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rh1HV0-_MWQ
Our enclosure retells the origin behind the Chinese Zodiac where the rat betrays the cat in order to deter the cat from finishing the race. We focus on the specific moment of when they choose to cross the river since that is the inciting incident and climax of the story. We decided that the shortened version of the story is brief yet exciting enough to fit into an enclosure well, and each interaction is self-explanatory in that it helps the linear progression of the race. Everyone can learn more about the Chinese Zodiac from this enclosure story!
