Major Project
A Shrine For What, Why? What is the Point.
Three Dimensional Design

'A Shrine For What?' is an experiment applying existentialism to the design process. The piece has no given meaning but that is not to say it has no meaning. We tend to equate design with intentionality and a defined purpose forgetting how objects are repurposed and take on new functions and meanings over time. Instead of questioning why I created this piece, I want you to ask how you can determine the object's meaning and function. These interpretations will create nonsense myths about the thing which in turn will generate new meaning. There is no given right or wrong. This is our absurd task.
