My research focuses on aesthetics and interior architecture, examining how imperfection, decoration, and participation shape the production of interior space. I investigate decoration not merely superficial but as a spatial system through how people negotiate materials, activities, and shared experiences. By connecting aesthetic theory with participatory design and spatial practice, my work reinterprets imperfection as a catalyst for adaptability, collective creativity, and sustainable interior environments.
