Home, House (2023)




        From The Poetics of Space, Gaston BachelardThe house shelters daydreaming,
the house protects the dreamer,
the house allows one to dream in peace.



Concept Sketches


Home, House (2023)

As a child of immigrants, like many children of immigrants, we exist in in-between places. Home is a nebulous and undefined feeling. Over the past three years, I have been creating a home where I can exist safely and find stability. Through this process, I have learned to find expansion in the in-between. Its lack of definition allows for anything and everything to come into existence. There are no defined rules, no bounds, rituals or traditions. There is no history in in-between spaces. It’s being created and destroyed simultaneously. My in-between exists in the realm of the absurd, the pleasure of creating spaces for play and joy. I explore what a chair would look like in a house in the in-between.
