i.. Design of a Pop-up Store

Zhen:

Rooted in Scent – A Pop-Up

This design is for a semi-outdoor pop-up space for a nature-inspired perfume brand. The space aims to evoke a sense of relaxation and fluidity, reflecting the experience of wearing the perfume. From the scented fabric hanging from above to the use of natural elements throughout the interior, I want to create a fully immersive environment for visitors.

ii. Redesign of Noguchi’s Studio

Drift of Color

For this project, I redesigned the studio space of artist Isamu Noguchi in Queens, New York. Inspired by sculptor Norman Weber, I incorporated geometric shapes and a wide range of colors, while experimenting with transparency and lighting.

iii. A Sonic Soundscape Installa -

Echoes of Wind

I grew so accustomed to the wind as a child that its whispers and roars became the soundtrack of my early years. Through this sound installation, hope to offer a space where others can reflect on their own sensory memories, shaped by sounds, feelings, or places shared through the wind.
