Thesis of the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague, 2022 BA Fine Arts I started from my father’s dream - his future house. From a dialogue with him, dives me into memories and shapes a poetic space through the idea of Bachelard’s 'The Poetics of Space'. The house becomes the imagery in which the memories stay that we can enter in and touch it, to interact with the house that belongs to us, or never belongs to us. Through the ‘experience of imagination’, the house exists not only to provide a space for perception and memory to meet but also to bring ‘awareness’ to the ‘back of self’. When the imagination circulation begins to drift away, a space is needed to enclose it. By encounters with the theories, literature, films, artists and artworks mentioned in the text, it is like walking through a forking path where you learn that yourself can be a way of knowing others.
