Sanctuaries

2017-2021

Nothing compares to physical human experience. Information about a place gained from different sources creates knowledge, but until you enter into a space, your knowledge is only formed from reason. This, according to the likes of Plato, is a lesser experience. A building’s form usually aligns to its purpose by visually complying to a set of rules creating responses in the viewer; giving away its telos. This body of work is set to challenge that idea.

‘Sanctuaries’ brings together an imagining from personal experience of spaces with separate visual identities, that, when viewed together have the possibility of being of the same telos: a sanctuary.
