Domain

Domain is a response to the increasing dominance of the digital version of life, and captures my sense of oscillating between two states: being online and being offline. It is an architecturally abstract space, suggesting a shelter, but also appearing temporary. It is a physical construction, but its boundaries are ineffective, allowing what is “inside” to be partially visible on the outside, blurring the distinction between the public and the private. The work asks what it means to be “in a space” when we understand space both physically and virtually. Where are we, when we are in these virtual spaces? The structure suggests many forms of space – is it a passageway? A filter? A journey? A prison? When passing through it, does it feel empty? Does it protect us? Does it lack humanity? Is it hiding the truth?
