Dwellville, a village of emotional dwellings, is a series of visual forms accommodating intangible memories.
To dwell means to live or to think. And specifically with this project, to stay with our recollections. These physical, touchable forms invite attention, connections, and interactions with our memories.
The installation integrates real stories, graphics, and 3D shapes to show a process of visual interpretation. The project proposes a new mode of retrospection by exploring how to express our emotions graphically and spatially.
