Thesis Show

The curatorial approach to this exhibition was rooted in the concept of “seeing what is seen.” This phrase gestures toward a dual process: making visible what is often overlooked and highlighting latent issues embedded within our projects. Through the use of color overlays, each work in the show seeks to reveal tensions, contradictions, or hidden narratives that might otherwise remain unnoticed. Rather than presenting resolved outcomes, the exhibition invites viewers to engage critically with what lies beneath the surface—social, spatial, or conceptual layers that ask to be re-seen. The color interventions act as both highlighter and veil, drawing attention to what has been made visible while acknowledging the complexity of what remains obscured. This method of curation frames each project not only as an architectural proposition but also as a lens through which collective realities and overlooked truths can be re-examined.
