REMEDY // CLOUD 9.9 SPACE

[Escaping the oppression of reality, she created a shelter for herself.] 

Cloud 9.9 Space is a project that contains a series of self-reliant, vibrant, and dynamic knitted sculptural works. Displaying diverse approaches to form and material, these statues are created upon methods of machine knitting, solidifying knit structure, and plastic moulding home objects.

This project explores escapism as a self-protecting mechanism in a biographical format. As a mortal existence, human beings inhabit and interact with spaces physically and spiritually. Brimming over with objects that allude to the deepest self, the domestic environment encloses the traces of humanity, history, and relationships. These knitted sculptural works blur the undefined tension between reality and illusion.
