Night Portal

Beyond translucent panels
Unscripted flow
Of becoming

The “unscripted” nature of the hotel is an invitation to embrace life’s inherent fluidity, its unceasing, unforeseeable evolution.

“Consciousness, then, is a need of creation. It is true that this creation is often replaced by a mere arrangement of pre-existing elements. But creation, in so far as it is final, is never anything else than a continuous life which absorbs the past and which it does not cease to expand in creating by a truly unforeseeable development.” ― Henri Bergson

Temporal Progression

Fleeting moments
Inherent fluidity
Luminous threads

This image speaks to Bachelard’s fascination with absences that create presences, with what is implied rather than explicitly stated.

“The human soul is a product of the play of light and shadow in the mind.” – Gaston Bachelard

Streaking Lights

Creation springs
Swirling spectacle
Elements unleashed

Here, the sharp edges of Apollonian order yield to a Dionysian intoxication, revealing a deeper truth beneath the veil of appearances.

“We have art in order not to die of the truth.” – Friedrich Nietzsche

Absolute Immanence

Stark geometry
Vibrant contrasts
Tangible presences

Shadows are absences that are intensely present, carving out negative spaces that define the positive forms.

Fleeting Patterns

Aesthetic provocation
Serves as a
Metaphysical prompt

This duality, this simultaneous presence of the tangible object and its fleeting, shadow-form, is where the a locus of metaphysical resonance.

“The sensible is not merely felt; it is understood, it is taken up into a structure of meaning.” – Mikel Dufrenne

“The Encompassing is that which is beyond all particular objects, that which manifests itself in all objects and yet is not exhausted by them.” – John Dewey

Constituted Through Interaction

Contextual backdrop
Against which all
Experience unfolds

The light is not simply there; it is being processed by the material, revealing its contours and imparting a certain glow.

“Experience is primarily an active and passive affair; it is an undergoing of consequences and an enjoyment of results.” – John Dewey

Angular Translucent Structure

Vibrant congeries
Actual occasions
Ceaselessly coming into being

The interplay of light and shadow, the warm glow emanating from within the structure, the sharp angles contrasting with the soft blur of the background, all contribute to a vivid harmony.

“The actual occasions are the final real things of which the world is made up. There is no going behind actual occasions to find anything more real.” – Alfred North Whitehead

Quotidian Utility

Tourist brochure
Hinting at a world
Beyond its own frame

Look beyond the empirical facts of a brochure to ask not just what we see, but how what we see acquires meaning and what kind of being it possesses within a larger interpretive framework.

“To see something as art requires something the eye cannot descry – an atmosphere of artistic theory, a knowledge of the history of art: an artworld.” – Arthur Danto

Woven Mesh Balustrade

Reveal the interplay
Form light material
Revelation of truth

Metaphysically, this image resonates with the idea that reality is not composed of isolated, self-contained entities, but rather a dynamic web of relationships.

“The work of art is not an object that exists for itself and whose meaning can be understood simply by studying it. It is rather an event that takes place in us and transforms us.” – Hans-Georg Gadamer
