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.
