Pause

Homes are architectural vessels containing dreams, sadness, desires, happiness, and fears. They are like books giving us shelter from society and providing room for the individual to exist. Intentionally exploring these ideas, Pause, Black Hole, and Erosion are bodies of work that portray conversations about the psychological effects that domestic spaces have on us; the interpersonal relationships, and fictitious narratives that we create of them. The alienation of ourselves into a private structure in which ordinary tasks can become either rituals or martyrdoms. The voyeuristic rawness imbues itself into everyone passing through that space. 

Pause, as the title indicates, is a piece for reflection that recreates the mixed emotions experienced during the first weeks of quarantine. As the world entered a new decade we were forced to slow down our pace and become observers. Isolation not only brought us fear and anxiety but also awareness; consciousness about how to reconnect with ourselves and find new readings of our living spaces.
