My thesis focuses on the self-evaluative
quality of an experience; when there is
space for human agency, I believe there
is opportunity for a person to reposition
themself in society. In constructing
liminal encounters that raise questions
about what is and what is not, we can
draw attention to the ordinary through
the extraordinary. A delightful
encounter, the unexpected discovery
of something new, or an invitation to see
the world a little differently, encourages
reflection on the everyday conditions
we inhabit. Nothing is a given, and
perception is relative. Personal
accountability is amplified when these
implications are clear. By encouraging
individual experience, self-awareness
and personal accountability through
spatial encounter, interior design can
have a significant impact not only on
the way an individual orients themself
spatially, but also in society.
