Project Planarity_ 2021
Planarity_2021 is a series of abstract images that represent an intensive visual exploration of my process as a spatial designer, focusing on the creation of space during the design process. This project is the result of over a decade of experience studying and working as a spatial designer, where I’ve continuously explored ways to translate spatial concepts from the mind to the physical or virtual world.
In every project I undertake, whether it’s architecture, interior design, or any form of spatial work, I begin with the same starting point: a blank, flat 2D sheet of white paper. This initial blank canvas is where my thoughts and ideas take shape, and from there, I use a variety of methods—both traditional hand drawing and digital tools—to visualize and communicate the spatial concepts in my mind. The goal is to bridge the gap between the conceptual and the tangible, allowing others to understand the design through visual communication.
Throughout my training, I’ve developed the ability to read 2D drawings and images as representations of 3D space, which allows me to better conceptualize and refine my designs. What I aim to do with Planarity_2021 is to create 3D space within 2D drawings themselves—transforming flat images into representations of volume, depth, and movement. This process is deeply rooted in my understanding of space as both a physical and conceptual entity, and I use the graphic medium as a neutral language to communicate these ideas.
The images in Planarity_2021 are more than just abstract works; they are a direct reflection of my creative journey as a spatial designer. They serve as a visual manifestation of the moment I search for space—space that exists in my mind, in my process, and in the very act of creating. These graphic works are not merely illustrations of spaces; they are an exploration of the potential of 2D forms to give rise to 3D experiences, making them as much about artistic expression as they are about design and space-making.
Ultimately, the Planarity_2021 project is a personal journey into the nature of space itself—a search for 3D moments within the flatness of 2D drawings. The abstract imagery serves as a kind of neutral territory where these ideas can be explored freely, with the potential to both communicate design concepts and stand as independent works of art. This is the creative space I cherish as a spatial designer: the ongoing search for three-dimensionality within the two-dimensional world.
The way of producing this drawing is unplanned with two 2D planarities and filled the background as black. The angle of lines that consists of planarity makes the drawing is floating in 3D space on a 2D flat paper. I would like to describe this floating as a spatial moment, particularly which is a boundary between 2D & 3D in a drawing as It always exists in my mind as imagination.
