In the Middle
In the Middle is the capstone project of my MFA thesis. Canadian designer Raf Rennie described “the middle” in his article Modern Nostalgic Fantasies as a space where “structuralist binary frameworks break down. The middle is gender fluidity… It’s quantum uncertainty—being both and nothing; it is post-structuralist in nature but does not deny standing structures. Rather, it defies them by challenging their limitations and definitions” (Rennie). My work seeks to explore and celebrate this concept of "the middle." Through my findings, I aim to create a metaphorical narrative that captures the feeling of being lost in the middle of nowhere. It’s a reminder that getting lost is not only okay—it’s an integral part of the journey.
