Hand-constructed diorama as a vessel to confront emotional and verbal childhood abuse.

While rooted in personal experience, the motivation behind this is universal: design is a means to make sense of life.

The installation is divided into three rooms, each using a different medium (video, audio, text, spatial design) to translate my emotional upbringing into the environment.
