Project I: 1410

Laser-cut wood, LED lights, acrylic paint, tracing paper

My piece, 1410, is a scale model of my apartment building in Baltimore. When I moved to west Baltimore, I soon realized apartments affordable enough for 19-year-olds were often in buildings that weren’t maintained very well. However, I hold so much love for my first apartment and had many adventures with my roommate and best friend, Sam, who passed away in August. I’m not renewing my lease so I can find a new apartment with my partner and start a whole new chapter of my adulthood, so I wanted to recreate my first apartment in a size that I can take with me wherever I end up living. I recreated the ages bricks, and chipping paint as best I could to most accurately capture the building’s “features.” I find beauty in Baltimore’s old architecture and how most of the students I’ve met end up living in one ancient brownstone or another. I also added LED lights on the inside of my model, so it functions as a lamp. When the lights turn on, it looks like someone’s home.
