The current project, F rustration, extends Amini’s past performative explorations into the realm of architectural sketches, delving deeply into the emotional undercurrents that arise at the intersection of personal journeys and the built environment. These sketches, while minimalist in form, articulate the silent dialogue to navigate the terrain of human emotion, exploring how frustration—a feeling so universal yet deeply personal—is amplified or mitigated by architectural constructs.
Philosopher Gaston Bachelard, in The Poetics of Space, argued that spaces hold the power to evoke memories and emotions, writing, “Space we love is inhabited by the imagination. It is not an indifferent container but the heart of the lived experience.” Amini’s sketches seem to echo this, attempting to reclaim urban spaces from their rigidity, allowing them to serve as mirrors to the human condition.
