sweet 19 / SOON_70 / Starak Foundation / 2023
It happens that ceilings, overlooked by the eye, bear the marks of the function of buildings, which we can decipher by analyzing their individual elements. Naturally, the perception of space changes when we find ourselves under the dome of a church, in an underground parking lot, in a sports hall or in an office building. The Spectra building and its multi-level ceiling inspired me to create the Sweet 19 design.

I used a piece of architecture located directly above the SOON_ design panel. With this gesture, I want to provoke in visitors a reflection on the impact of their surroundings on their well-being and the way they perceive the places they visit. I want them to feel like full participants in the process of creating an artistic vision, in a place where reality mixes with fantasy. I enriched the found space with fictional elements, stimulating the imagination and encouraging them to explore the limits of perception.

The title Sweet 19 is the actual number of architectural elements and levels visible within the SOON_70 project. I want to send a signal to the viewer that every space carries hidden meanings, other than the intended content, and all the details make up our experience of it.
