Between Rooms is an exploration of the experience of moving through an intimate architectural space, using geometry, color, and shifting perspective to create a sense of abstraction. The repeated stairways, doorways, and windows suggest a series of connected rooms, while their unexpected arrangements blur the boundaries between interior and exterior. I was interested in creating a space that feels both familiar and imagined, where each view leads into another and the experience of moving through the home becomes a kind of visual journey.
