A Room is a Home, is a Playground is a tactile, and curious soft-sculpture animated by air. The project overtakes a conference room, transforming it into an arching and looping playscape quilted from repurposed bed linens, engaging visitors in an open-ended exploration of space-making through play. The work reimagines the traditional boundaries of what this room might contain by engaging with how it feels to play and exist within both domestic and public spaces.
