Expansive land development in contemporary American life has led to rapid changes in our surroundings. In my work, I reference transportation systems as a metaphor for being in an unfamiliar space between two places. The piece directs the viewer to enter the installation to experience the disorientation caused by the disruption of memory and familiarity of a place.
The space itself is composed of geometric forms which mirror the grid system of land development. This geographical arrangement led to standardization of real estate allocation and aesthetics of architecture. The piece contemplates the possibility of non-places as a result of the monotony that comes with globalization and architecture standards. Still, the work considers the viewers relationship to their landscapes and the surreal unfamiliarity of what once was familiar that results from these development processes.
