In Progress: Architecture Undone
2025, research, public intervention, sculpture
This project explores how systems of architectural design function performatively in space, creating spatial logics through which power, proportion, gender, and normativity are ritualized.
Using the abstracted figure as a site of disruption, I work to hack these spatial logics by subverting their claims to universality through the unmeasurable, errant, and resistant queer body. Rather than critique through reason alone, the project engages in a ritual undoing: invoking asymmetry, fragmentation, and gesture as generative forces.
This wearable sculpture made from layered cardboard architectural fragments transforms the human body into a precarious structure, both concealed and burdened by spatial logic. The modular, orthogonal forms evoke modernist or Brutalist references, yet remain unfinished, fragmented, and playful. The body, barely visible behind the stacked geometry, becomes a support structure: it holds, lifts, but is also overwhelmed by the very systems it animates.
When worn as part of a public intervention or performance, the sculpture operates as a garment for situated rituals that unsettle inherited geometries and disrupt architectural order.
