• Gold Mention at Diffusion: Architectural Drawing Competition by ArchTwist

A visual storytelling about me, my places, me being in my places; stories in a storybook. Architecture, being rhetorically replaced with ‘my places’, draws sophistication to my events, experiences, their melting within me, and my memories. Framing these memories is my desperate effort to grab at something in the midst of falling, an effort to conquer the absence of my existence in these places with the perpetual presence of their immateriality. Starting from my first steps on a mosaic floor, my cricket lanes, my regular visits to the local Pepsi store, my never-ending anxiety of crossing bridges to my first visit to a village, the frames generally depict how architecture builds the structure of our memories and saves us from nothingness with its infinite diversity. My places are lost, but what still remains are the finality of their impressions… and my desperate attempt at reviving them before their final diffusion.

• Gold Mention at Death In-Between Architectural Idea Competition by ArchTwist

With every passing second, we face a death that is brief and immune. But death isn’t necessarily caused by time; it is rather composed by our absence and indifference to our own senses and existence. Political conflicts, warfare, and naked power in the name of peace in our industrially urbanized civilizations have mechanized our senses of time and space, and have left us with the inability to truly belong to a place, and to ourselves. Man is above all a metaphysical being, and a metaphysical death is the last of his highest honors for it brings completeness to his nature. But violence emerging from global disagreements and disputes has substantially reduced man to mere subjects of its diplomatic blood sport. Reminiscing our primitive instinct to fall deep into the art of our identities, to flow again with the hymns of music, thriving again to melt within the joy of being and belonging can bring us to the remembrance that we don’t need graveyards in order to dance.
