︎ Title: Temporal Reverie
︎ Date: March 2019
︎ Location: Jeddah
“Temporal Reverie” is a set design project situated in an abandoned supermarket in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The installation explored themes of temporality and light, transforming the neglected space into an ethereal environment. Delicate fabric veils were suspended from the walls, interacting with sunlight to create shifting patterns, diffused glows, and dynamic shadows. I was directly involved in designing and arranging the installation, carefully considering how each element would respond to the changing light and spatial context. The interplay of light, texture, and movement invited viewers to pause and reflect on the impermanence of human interventions.
The project emphasized the beauty of ephemeral design, embracing both the limitations and possibilities of a transient site. As the urban landscape evolved, the supermarket and its installation were ultimately removed, leaving only the memory of the work. This experience reinforced the value of designing with temporality in mind, highlighting how fleeting moments and impermanent interventions can create profound spatial and emotional resonance.
