A Narrative of Space: No. 1




For the longest and the narrowest of the three of my spaces I tried to move away from the idea of the literal swinging of a pendulum and/or the passage of time by representing yet another immaterial notion, the continuous ebbing and flowing of emotions associated with the human condition. Some examples of the gradual changes may include: fluctuating between feelings of depression to those of joy, and between those of being enraged and having a sense of calm. For the purposes of this space I made use of an emotional gradient that flows between being joyful, calm, or enraged. In addition to emphasizing the continual changing of our emotions, this space is also designed to accommodate the emotions and feelings of the occupant. This is done through the use of a set of two modular walls which pendulate on a hinge. I also intentionally made one of the walls short enough so that it may fold completely flat against the back wall if the occupant so desires.
