Hi, I'm Feranda Chua. Currently I'm working on
"东西是死的、人是活的。" a zine about household DIY, documenting shared bicycles, and an Architecture degree.
about my works and workings:
I am interested in how people interact: with others, with objects, and with spaces. For example in my work 'BENCH zine', the placement of objects analyzed as a byproduct social interaction. In turn, objects and spaces can shape human interaction, which have led to my choosing an architecture education. I also do graphic design work, hoping to acknowledge western influences while reflecting local contexts the works exist in.
I am still learning how to make things, to use new mediums, on new ways to come up with ideas and how to develop them. Currently, I am pursuing an Architecture bachelors degree, whilst continuing to involve myself in the arts. In university I am learning how to analyze spaces, to present them visually, and how culture and people impact the spaces they create and inhabit. It teaches me how to create enjoyable places that can foster interaction and community. The many differences between my education in architecture and the arts have made me more aware of my own role and identity as a maker, and an awareness of the influences in my education that has shaped me thus far. With each new experience I continue to learn, to change, and my works continue to change along with me.
