VERTICAL CITY

Heavily influenced by the Kowloon Walled City, this drawing
represents a self-contained, dystopian city scape. The profile of the structure and of its elevator systems were designed by drawing the silhouette of superimposed piano pieces. I initially conceived it as a cave-like sunken network of niches and halls but then rotated it vertically in order to explore different spatial qualities. The drawing seeks to tell a story of the life within regulated walls and the false promises of utopia. Concepts of social organization and power relations are key fields of my interest.
