    Imaginary Cabinets | 2012

This is an research in the richness of the imaginary powers. I unleashed my imagination on an archetypical cabinet and made 90 different versions to show what this cabinet could be. Normally when we see a cabinet we define it as such. We know what it is, what it is for and then we stop. When we approach the same cabinet with our imagination we don’t define it, we reveal the unlimited array of possibilities. Our imagination enriches our perception of our environment.
