In Singapore most of us live in HDB flats (which are the main form of public housing, basically apartment flats). We have metal prison like doors facing each other, corridors and corridors. From the scent of a family’s cooking to scents that alarm the other about an emergency. Scents that seep through the bottom of the doors in attempt to communicate in a rather conservative community.

This cabinet allows for things to deteriorate at their own rate, and its deterioration to affect the other. A play with hard and soft. While time tells decay, decay too tells time.
