Personal.Public
February 2019
A carpet design for a hotel ballroom. It is meant to encapsulate the private, yet shared nature of hotels. Hotel rooms host the most intimate actions: sleeping, talking, bathing, sex. They seem like an escape from the outside world, however, they are only separated by thin walls. Fluid motifs paired with cell-like shapes embody this duality.
Created in Photoshop using water-color and digitally drawn motifs.
