Beyond the material and physical aspect, understanding of home lies in the intersection of socially accepted, romanticized notions as a safe, comforting and nurturing shelter with the diverse subjective experiences that can entail alienation, anxiety and stress. Alison Blunt and Robyn Dowling (2006) develop a concept of home through critical geography to draw out the relation between the place of home with, scale, identity and power that exists within the space (pp. 2-3). This theoretical concept contains a wide and multifaceted view where the architecture of the place intersects with emotional, experiential, and socio-cultural significance.

this project started at RUD 5, Bengtsfors,
and presented at Sikås Art Center, Sweden in 2018
Embracing the impossibility of illustrating the island of Utopia described by Thomas More in his 1516 book Utopia, "No Place, Good Place" is a project that seeks to investigate the shape of Utopia within the existing spaces that linger on the threshold of place/non-place.

This project focuses on the idea of revolution and the need for change that mobilizes the masses. The research essay part of this project (in process) questions the "seductive" aspect of the revolution that makes revolution an essential part of progress in some Western ideologies.

objects/design
Ongoing
Often gifted to artists or used in Glass Box Projects' gatherings, these hand-crafted objects try to intertwine the "why" and the "how" of contemporary art practices. This parallel interest helps me to understand materials in their raw forms and develop technical skills to narrow the gap between concept and the actual process of making.
