While an interior space can be a sanctuary and a shelter from external danger, it has the potential to provoke feelings of confinement and a desire to escape. Similarly, an exterior space can suggest freedom and openness, however, to be outside risks vulnerability and exposure to danger.

I explored these contrasting notions by removing all means of entrance, exit and communication from the structures, to create a visual tension between inside and outside. As their interior can only be imagined, the buildings seem closed and foreboding, offering little solace from their bleak surroundings.
