This project investigates how immersive interior space can be used as a critical medium to externalize the psychological and emotional effects of social labeling and identity performance in the digital age. The aim is to reveal how surveillance, role expectations, and perfectionist pressures shape individuals’ behaviors and perceptions of self. The central research question asks how scenographic strategies can spatially simulate the psychological burden of being watched, labeled, and required to perform ideal identities. The methodology combines theoretical research, including Judith Butler’s theory of performativity and Erving Goffman’s role theory, with case studies in immersive theatre, as well as experimental mask testing to analyze the interplay between external perception and self-perception.

Contemporary climate change is largely driven by long-term human exploitation and industrial activities. The disasters it triggers are becoming increasingly intense and irreversible. This design focuses on one of the most impactful consequences—extreme weather—and takes “wind” as the core element to explore the environmental, ecological, and human-related effects brought by this invisible yet powerful force. Wind, though often overlooked, carries energy, memory, and symbolic meaning, representing both natural vitality and ecological disturbance.

The project is situated in the bustling city center, surrounded by dynamic entertainment venues and a fast-paced atmosphere. My site analysis revealed that while the area is lively, it lacks green spaces where people can pause and rejuvenate. Strong odors from nearby restaurants and cafés further diminish the sensory appeal. Observing pedestrian behavior and the surrounding environment, I identified an opportunity to create a sanctuary for emotional and sensory connection amid the chaos.
