This interdisciplinary research takes a practice-led approach to mapping the ephemeral nature of perceptions of place. Perception of place is a complex and evolving relationship between the self and the environment; it is in a constant state of flux, shaped by time, experience, memories and feelings. 

In this project the effects of time on one’s perception of place were examined. The local neighbourhood park was mapped over the course of one year.

In this project I examine the role emotions play in shaping experiences and perceptions of place. I investigated how emotions can be collected, organised, categorised and documented through mapping prototypes of Emotion Maps.

Through photographic analysis and creative cartographic artworks, this research shows how mapping can be a performative, interpretive act that reveals place as fluid and continually reframed through perspective.
