Layered Unveilings,
as the project came to be known, welcomes visitors with a tasseled curtain, unveiling the celebratory exhibition within. Beyond it, two distinct spaces are revealed: an isolated walkway, meant to exhibit students’ larger drawings, and an open gallery that presents student projects in semi-private pockets.
The tasseled curtains are reintroduced to the space, encouraging visitors to interact with them as they visualize the student work. These curtains add a sense of ambiguity to each row, fostering deeper engagement as visitors move from one display to another. Visitors are invited to pause with each work, as a soft silhouette of surrounding projects peers out in the background.
