“The character of the architectural forms and spaces which all people habitually encounter are powerful agencies in determining the nature of their thoughts, their emotions and their actions, however unconscious of this they may be.”
- Hugh Ferriss, 1929

CORNERED is a series of large format photographic images that calls our attention to the corners of enclosures we routinely inhabit, yet often never truly see. These images are maps of both geometric and conceptual possibilities, reminding us that seeing is an unstable process, as dependent on the brain as on the eye.
