Perfect Plan is an installation that took the floorplan of my childhood home in Hong Kong as the input for a generative, endless algorithm. Initially, I set out to formalize the shape, to untether it from any personal narrative or memory.

However, the algorithm, despite a facade of control, was creating unforeseeable disorders with each output. The emotionally charged space, rooms, walls, corners, corridors - despite / from my attempts to abstract - inevitably revealed the difficult familial relationships that existed within them. They were expressed by a visual language I had not known to speak, yet was able to create.

How can an architectural design instead embody life on its own by following the principles of entropy? How can each iteration, through varied analog and digital mediums, slow down the generative process and provoke us to learn to select and release?

This project is still incomplete, but is successful in every way that challenges me to reconcile with vulnerability and inaccessible language. The work, from afar, while viewed as structured and contained, upon close examination, reveals subtle yet firm possibilities of disruption, disorder, and uncertainty. In even the static, there is a vibration willing to be freed.
