Fictional Terrain
At Jaemee Studio, I am interested in deliberately blurring the boundaries between two disciplines: objects and landscape. Landscapes may be abstracted, condensed, or reconfigured into discrete physical objects, and conversely, objects can expand into the immersive, spatial experiences that landscapes offer. This reciprocal transformation creates a sense of ambiguity where distinctions begin to fade, often forming a hybrid design language that straddles fiction and function, memory and materiality, the intimate and the collective. These experiments occasionally evoke subtle moments of disjunction and architectural uncanny, opening alternative ways of experiencing landscape. Several built and unbuilt projects, ranging from temporary art installations to speculative urban scale proposals will be shared to illustrate how these approaches have been explored and developed in my studio practice.
