A sculptural exploration of My Documents folder structure. I analyzed and examined every subfolder and file within my personal My Documents folder on my computer system and translated it into a hierarchical stacks. The large base layer is the root folder and each subsection of that are its direct children. The higher the stacks grow shows how deep the subfolders grow. The top-most stacks represent the individual files, the height of which indicates the number of files.
