In Rafiyan's house, we wondered if we could turn the dialogue between outside and inside into a monologue. This would be a reflection of our memories of being in the house at different times. This happens when the outside and inside spaces at each door match and keep memories. "We're always there, even when we're not around." As we move through these spaces, we find ourselves surrounded by a kind of empty, transparent space. It's as if we're looking at our arrivals reflected in the glass, but through the lens of our imagination.
