This project is based on my own experience of phobic within domestic space. It began during a period when cockroaches repeatedly appeared in my home, which made me extremely sensitive to spatial conditions around me. I start noticing pipes, drains, gaps, and openings that I never paid attention to. These spatial conditions are numerous, but by observing my own behavior and reactions, I began to reflect on which situations triggered my fear the most.

Based on this self-observation, I categorized my triggers into several recurring types. From these, I focused on three dominant spatial conditions: movement inside hidden infrastructures, the unknown nature of pipes and drains, and ambiguous domestic openings. This project investigates how bodily, controllable and playful interactions can help me confront fears that originate from domestic infrastructures I cannot redesign or remove.

The three models correspond to different aspects of this process. The first model externalizes fear by making pipes visible and testable, using ping-pong balls as a small, tangible tool of control. The second model addresses the fear of unknown depth by translating domestic pipes into measurable lengths and transforming them into sound through metal tubes. The third model focuses on agency reconstruction by cutting and stitching soft domestic corners together.

This project does not aim to solve fear, nor to change the interior. By using playful and bodily actions, I reflect on how hidden infrastructures shape emotional perception of space. Through sharing my story, the project invites others to notice overlooked parts of domestic space.
