Reality and the beauty of nature are interpreted through ideas and metaphors in morphological terms, open to subjective transformation and speculation, through the frames.
The scenes presented are not valued for their measurable qualities but for their metaphorical potential.
As one walks along the pathways from the premises into the building, the scenes successively appear and transform continuously, allowing our perception to transcend what our feet can sense. In other words, the space actively invades our perception and moves through us.
We considered the awareness of reality through sensory perception and imagination as a creative process because it achieves a higher order than mere documentation, proof, and control.
This project has become a product of the human-nature relationship, accommodating diverse behaviors and lifestyles, shaping a collective intellect and aesthetic for the local community to live harmoniously with nature. These are values immeasurable by efficiency.
Everything blends together, tangible – abstract, into a new form, becoming a collage of outcasts.
