Platform

Platform was initially built as a simple raised structure for viewing, but over time it has come to embody the act of looking itself. The work explores how environments that invite observation can create a sense of safety, legitimacy, and quiet connection. In such a space, looking is natural and unquestioned—an accepted part of the landscape. By amplifying this simple gesture, Platform elevates looking to a shared language of attentiveness and belonging. The binoculars intensify the gaze, transforming it into something purposeful and serious. The structure itself—raised, almost shrine-like—echoes the architecture of authority, subtly suggesting that to look is to take part, to bear witness. This is a space that gives weight to the moment, honouring the quiet, often overlooked act of watching.
