HOW DO I DEFINE THIS JOURNEY? WHEN I STARTED, I DID NOT KNOW WHERE IT WOULD LEAD, WHERE I AM GOING, EXACTLY. IT BECAME MORE CLEAR WHILE THE JOURNEY WAS PROGRESSING. AS I REMEMBERED THE NAMES OR PSEUDONYMS OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE ON THE SAME JOURNEY AND COULD CONNECT THE IMAGES POSTED ON VARIOUS SOCIAL PLATFORMS WITH THEIR NAMES, THE JOURNEY BECAME MORE PERSONAL. WHEN I STARTED WITH THE “SMALL” TALK AND WAS ABLE TO ASK FOR ADVICE, OR NOT TO BE SHY TO DO SO, THE JOURNEY BECAME MORE FULFILLING. APART FROM BEING CREATIVE AND A SOURCE OF INFORMATION, SOMETIMES OVERWHELMINGLY SO, THIS JOURNEY ALSO ENABLED ME TO LOOK DIFFERENTLY AT MY REALITIES AND ON INTERACTIONS WITH OTHERS. WHAT IS TO FOLLOW? I DO NOT KNOW BUT I HOPE THAT MY SENSING WINDOWS ARE OPEN WIDER NOW. HOW SHOULD I DEFINE MY ARCHITECTURAL SPACE AT PRESENT? WHEN I REFLECT ABOUT MY FEELINGS, ABOUT RELATING TO OTHERS , BEING OPEN TO A NEW EXPERIENCE I CAN SAY THAT I AM MORE ENCOURAGED TO DISCOVER, TO ASK, TO TAKE PICTURES, TO EXCHANGE THOUGHTS TO THINK IN TERMS OF THE, LIGHT AND OF THE SHADOWS. MY ARCHITECTURAL SPACE IS DIFFERENT,EVER CHANGING, FOR THE BETTER. I OBSERVE MORE, I AM AWARE MORE ABOUT SPATIAL CONFIGURATION OF MY SURROUNDINGS AND ALSO HOW OTHERS FEEL IT. THIS IS NICE.IT IS A NICE FEELING.

MY ARCHITECTURAL SPACE
SOMETIMES PAPER IS THE MORE TACTILE MEDIA. DISCARDED IDEAS.
SOMETIMES YOU START WITH ONE THOUGHT AND END UP WITH ANOTHER.
