Approaching Home

This work considers home not as a fixed architectural entity, but as a process of gradual approach. While architecture typically exists as an overwhelming volume that encloses the body, this work transforms that sensation by reducing the house to an object smaller than the body itself. Once an overwhelming space, the house becomes a small structure that can be opened and looked into by hand, appearing less as a physical place than as a concept that compresses the sensation of home.

The viewer bends down and sequentially opens the three-layered structure, arriving at an entrance that separates outside and home, a kitchen and living room marked by traces of everyday life, and finally a bedroom where the body comes to rest. As one moves inward, the house emerges not simply as a building but as an experience of approaching the most intimate self, where the body, memory, and rest are condensed. In this process, the gap between the outside world and the home is experienced simultaneously as a physical distance and a psychological depth.
