One of the more memorable topics I've encountered during my philosophy and art degree is the art movement that occurred during the 1960s and 1970s, namely minimalism and conceptualism. What is at the core of these movement is essentially a philosophical issue - the problem of perception. What exactly is the object in front?

Daybed itself holds a dual identity - a bed and a bench. If one were to encounter such object in a space, what would you do? Sit? Nap on it? In what ways does the object has to present itself for it to be "contemplative" rather than "operative". How does the transition manifest?

This project explores one of the mechanisms to which we recognizes art, specifically the familiar "white cube" that engenders how we perceived and treat the objects we encounter in modern days. As we slowly removed the furnishes and transition into the white space, the way we perceive the objects shifts accordingly. However, perhaps it is precisely this difference in space that we are able to openly receive and conceive multiplicities of an object.
