Hourglass is an entry for the Warming Huts competition hosted by The Forks in Winnipeg, Canada with my partner Andrew Bako. The overall form is designed using video game physics engines allowing primitive forms to collide, slump, and droop all together in a state of comfortable imbalance. The project is designed as a physical manifestation of our blurred spatiotemporal realities. Over the course of the past two years, our distinction between work, play and domestic life has been radically altered by rapidly shifting health guidelines and socio-politcal landscapes. We have reached an era of simultaneous comfort and unease. The proposal poses the question of when is time to hit the reset button, and what is here to stay?
