The museum's space is divided organically by three conceptual plates, cutting into it. The resulting "shadows" are reflected on the walls of the exhibition space. The intersections of these colored planes create a continuous landscape that connects the three rooms across two floors. It generates an experiential dynamism that cuts through the traditional museum box.
The starting point for this spatial graphic installation is the creation of a space that symbolically fuses two concepts: the "traditional museum as a container for storing and displaying artifacts of the past" and the "indefinable, spontaneous, and future-oriented present."
