Because I was unable to make an actual outdoor installation, I decided to take elements from the outdoors and use it to enhance my window that looks onto the street and my neighbors. I used dried flowers and placed them on the top of the window so it looked like they were growing down towards …
I was inspired by Tomas Saraceno to use paper structures to play with negative and positive space in each cabinet. Each cabinet was made to look like a mini indoor installation and I thought that if they were on a larger scale, it would be interesting for people to walk through. I started with the …

I made two different versions of a similar shape, one with color and one without. I wanted to use lots of color because I thought that it would make the shape more interesting when you were looking at the different layers, but I don’t think it turned out the way I wanted it to. I …
