Description

Social loneliness may be hard to see, but is a constant, universal phenomenon. While not a mental illness, loneliness is a common condition that can cause distress and cause social and emotional problems. The wide spread of loneliness, in as many as 1 in 3 adults over the age of 45 according to research, prompts this project: Traces of Solitude in this Deserted Hotel. This narrative project depicts a hotel design combining surreal spatial conditions within the urban fabric of Hong Kong through own experience and stories to present loneliness. Scaleless interiors, juxtapositions of bodies and sculptures, and deep spatial fields of view reflect on adolescent loneliness as an experience in the context of nameless hotel rooms and featureless urban facades. The project aims to explore and emphasize loneliness as a personal and interpersonal phenomenon, projected into interior spaces and their relationships to behavior.
