Brief description of the initiative:

This project aimed at constructing a series of installation for presenting the identities from different cultures. The idea of which this construction was based on is to build up a concept which reveals an identical culture within a physical context that has faded or never been explored. The characteristics of a culture identity conceive as a mean that can prescribe a kind of relation or an icon to the viewers in spaces. Therefore searching ways of generating identities with material at hands is the challenge of what this project is going to undertake.

The materialized cultural characteristics were applied for generating a construction within a framework. The framework was set to be a fixed structure, which simulates the context that a culture is within as integration for a series of installation. This installation within a framework could be used for describing the images or symbols in terms of physical forms and communicate the idea of cultural identities.
