We often ask, “Where are you from?” a question that gestures toward geography but reaches into identity. Beneath its surface lies the understanding that space is not a passive backdrop, but an active force that shapes memory, belonging, and transformation.

Hypnopompia, explores the liminal space between waking and dreaming, a threshold where logic dissolves and memory lingers. It is a state of in-betweenness, where presence and absence blur, and where space becomes emotionally and psychologically charged. Space here is not neutral. It is layered, lived, and remembered. It asks: How do we inhabit space, and how does space inhabit us?

Through architectural forms, soundscapes, and material interventions, my artwork evokes places that no longer exist physically but persist in memory: domes that whisper with the sounds of home, corridors that lead nowhere, and structures that hover between the real and the imagined. These are not literal reconstructions, but emotional architectures, fragments of lived experience suspended in time. Viewers are invited to move slowly, to listen closely, and to enter spaces of disorientation and intimacy. In doing so, they encounter the poetics of place, the quiet persistence of memory, and the complexities of displacement.

What do we carry from the spaces we leave behind? How do we navigate the in-between? And how might art serve as a vessel for remembering, resisting, and reimagining place?
