Through the documentation of isolation and boundaries within our four chosen locations in Detroit, it became evident that there is a need for the creation of positive spaces within these environments. The installation consists of an outdoor space made entirely of objects found in Detroit, providing seating and a social atmosphere.
Our goal is to challenge established boundaries and confront isolation by creating a positive environment where people can gather.
We developed a language system to stencil on the pieces of furniture, making them more than just a place to sit, but also a form of signage. With so much negative signage in and around the areas we visited, we chose affirmative words to invite people into the environment and serve as conversational pieces.
