The goal of this project was to explore the metaphysics of displaying the culture and values of families in the home.
This modular display system allows for families to curate a particular amount of objects which showcase their values and culture. Each display case allows for one significant object to placed in it, which helps to elevate the importance of it. The is an object that would ideally live in a family’s living room. A questionnaire is provided for the user in order for them to figure out what pieces should belong in this curated display. Certain cases have the ability to be turned around if an object is too important for certain visitors to see. This is a large display system which attaches from the ceiling and the floor, making it 8 feet high and 6 feet wide.
