The Dwelling

The Dwelling, by Sara Madandar, Christina Coleman & Jieun Beth Kim, is about what home and shelter means to different people from diverse backgrounds and struggles. It consists of small house with walls of reflective Plexiglas which result in different scenes by day and night. During the day, the Plexiglas acts as a mirror and reflects the surrounding environment. At night, an interior light makes the walls transparent, revealing the inside of the house. What is revealed within is at the heart of the project, a reflection on the city, its spirit and the struggle of its people in making a home.
