Some Abstract Matter


Description
An experiential space exploring romantic relationships through the symbolism of a hanger, inspired by my partner. A relationship, like a hanger, provides support, stability, and a place for something meaningful to belong. Using the hanger as a metaphor, the space transforms an ordinary object into a physical expression of connection.
