Between Planned Worlds envisions the closeness and vibrancy of community, along with thinking about individualism vs. reductionism in relation to a community’s image. Referencing suburban landscape and worship spaces found within mosques, composing these two together as repetitive patterns creates a sense of unity, divide, and the perception of being watched reveal truths that make one believe in illusions and distortions about what a place or peoples are supposed to be and how we’re taught to only identify as one thing.
