Ideas brainstorm for final outcome
oddly enough my two ideas turned out to diametrically oppose one another in what they’re communicating, with one that’ll deliberately make the viewer feel uncomfortable and restricted whereas the other is a celebration of freedom and each individual’s unique feeling of comfort.

Redefining what exactly I want to communicate, and what to leave the viewer feeling
not necessarily interior design related / what one typically associates as interior design

Interim self-reflection:
with the comfort test, i feel i can improve on the tone of voice and visuals as it still resembles a crime scene outline. the material of cardboard could also give off mixed messages as to what circumstances i am trying to communicate.
with the context test, i could investigate many more contexts and consider how different people might utilise this fixed size space i have chosen. also asking whether this layout/format communicates clearly enough.

INTERIM CRIT test 2
I am trying to communicate:
What variety of lives are lead in the same space?
Inspiration & artist reference: EVERY THING WE TOUCH, a book by Paula Zuccotti
Cage home size as constant: presenting only the objects tied to and associated with the space, and arranging them in a museum-style manner to inform the context and lifestyle of the resident.
How much of an individual's lifestyle can you gauge just from the way they use a space?
Reflecting on how we judge people based on the interiors of their homes, gaining insight into their social status and displayed wealth just by the objects they interact with in a given space.
(This test is supposed to be a life sized catalogue/book, with the objects printed onto the space as they are. I didn't get to realise this other than sticking together 3 sheets of A1 paper to create roughly the same dimensions as a cage home)

INTERIM CRIT test 1
The context for both my tests is all about small-space living, specifically that of cage homes (in Hong Kong).
I am trying to communicate:
the act of interior design is a privilege not many can afford monetarily or even consider due to circumstances - so I want to challenge interior design where comfort is key, and the design directly stems from comfort therefore making interior design not revolve around grandeur and extravagance but shift the focus to the human form, which opens the accessibility of interiors to everyone in all circumstances.
How can the human body in itself become interior design?
Interior design should be about catering towards comfort and homeliness, not prioritising aesthetics for outsiders and onlookers.
What is the most comfortable position? Everyone's fave position is different, and even then the position they find most comfortable may only be short-lived. I wanted to explore how different people would fit into someone else's 'most comfortable position', taking away from the decadent value of interiors and stripping it down to simplicity.
What if the home was about the person themselves?
If this is the case, then no matter how restrictive or small your living space is, there will always be a ways to create comfort through design as the focus shifts to the human form rather than what's surrounding it or the space in which we exist.
We can define interior design ourselves, using ourselves.
