Inspiration

The project began by a class field to trip to MoMA’s archival facility in Queens, NY. We stumble across hanger spaces full of these blue crates used for shipping artworks via air freight.



Standing next to these towering wooden structures painted blue with nothing but obscure indexing written on them, I couldn’t help but imagine what is inside.
