I am interested in the intersection between “real” spaces and mental space. At any given moment, a person inhabits both: a set of physical surroundings, and his own distinct internal situation—a complex landscape of thoughts and feelings. We may distinguish between these two planes of existence, but in fact they are closely connected, for even our most “objective” fictions of the world around us are cast amongst the teeming thoughts, emotions, and predilections of our minds.

For me, thinking of the physical world in this way, as a bendable thing, creates an opportunity—an entry-point for mystery, magic, and perhaps a truth and agency in things outside us that our human methods of perception prevent us from comprehending.
