Apartment

Apartment; a multi media / multi dimensional project to investigate space and the urban environments in which many of us find ourselves.  Boxes can be flattened down, shaped, coloured, re-imagined and then placed back in their original form, yet bent and re-conceptualized.


Boxes can be re-imagined whether they are concrete or cardboard. The spaces around us are ours for the taking — the key point is flattening them out and making our mark on them with our own creativity.
