Architecture of Forgetting

What happens in the moment something leaves use but does not yet become waste? This project considers the suburban house, the storage unit, and the suspended life of objects that are removed from view but never fully resolved. As it develops, the work expands beyond the domestic interior into a broader examination of the systems that make disappearance feel believable. It looks at what might be understood as architectures of forgetting, where objects and data are displaced into spaces that absorb them without acknowledging their persistence. Drawing a parallel between domestic and digital environments, the project highlights how both promise clarity, order, and control while quietly generating hidden layers of accumulation. Through a layered animation, a desktop interface, a living room, and an archive ground coexist within a single frame. Waste is not represented as an endpoint, but as an ongoing spatial condition that can disappear from frame but never truly disappear.
