End Product


This is the final product of my device to show how the "imperfections" vanishes 
into the shadowy luminous breadth. I can see things in front through the
 transparency sheet (left picture). If  I do not wish to see certain things (the "imperfections") that are in front of me, I can open the mirrors that's on the side and see things behind me instead (making "imperfections" disappear).

However, there's a small gap in the middle of the four mirrors. It is to show that even if I can "make imperfections vanish", it wouldn't disappear completely, but only "entering" in small amount.


Process of making

The materials used for the making the device:
+ Nails
+ Strings
+ Four Mirrors
+ One transparency sheet
+ Small blocks of plywood

+ Cut the blocks of plywood to desired lengths
+ Nail the plywood to the "top", "body" of the device, and transparency sheet together
+ Tie the two mirrors to one side of the device using string, but not tightly, so as to allow the mirrors to be opened


+ Tie the other two mirrors to another with strings, also not tightly
+ Test to see if the mirrors could be opened

+ Nail the plywood to both sides of the device, so as to prevent the mirror from slipping down when it is being held up





Design Sketches/Ideas

#1st Design Sketch

#2nd Design Sketch

#3rd Design Sketch

#4th Design Sketch

My chosen idea is the 3rd Design Sketch. 
Since my sentence is:
"The prolonged imperfection, vanishes within the shadowy luminous breadth",
I feel that the 3rd sketch is able to relate to it and the site better as compared to the others.

Parallel Reality


Newcastle X Singapore


7:30 AM
Waking up with the outside view within the house

life is not measured by the breaths we take,
but by the views that take our breath away


7:40AM
Seeking shelter while waiting for something to come

our pets lead us from patience to love and then to loss...
but it is always a journey worth taking


8:10 AM
The continuous movement of people going in and out

the prolonged imperfection ,
vanishes within the shadowy luminous breadth


9:50 AM
The isolated feeling upon standing inside

along roads where wind sweeps,
loneliness within ambles on


10:20 AM
The familiarity of colours and lines made it feels as one


10:55 AM
Delivering things to designated places

food stays away from the counter;
delivery truck is what I want on the track.
That, is the only way to my destination.


11:40 AM
Looking over to another side


12:00 PM
Words can't describe how delicious my lunch is

a rush comes over my body,
the feeling not quite explainable.
I've experience it before,
yet it is still indescribable.
It then hits me like no other -
it's the smell of my favourite food


2:20 PM
Appreciating different cultures and art within the space


6:25 PM
The transition of entering another space from the outside

mind in nature,
crossing the streets with lighthearted feelings
