The Harmony of Difference: House vs Home (pt deux)
January 4, 2019Part Deux: (Home)
Home: A space somewhere to be with you.
Life’s funny never in a million years would I have imagined to see the imaginary interconnected lines we all develop. Frank Lloyd Wright although a extremely celebrated architect also practiced industrial and textile design. One normally devotes their lives to one area of practice. Yet he saw the potential of how things could flow from one into another.
A threaded and logical process of development.
We pour the deepest parts of ourself in the passions we pursue.
When I mentioned that life was funny its based on the crazy coincidences life presents to us along the way. Frank while building this home, he would have Diego Rivera casually stay from time to time while his wife Frida Kahlo would be the introduction to Pablo Picasso. Over the years, the group would trade pieces that can be tracked and seen in each others homes. (Falling Water has a pretty crazy collection from each of the artist collection.)
Each room was conceived, developed & designed with a specific purpose. Fixing beds, desk and furniture into earth. This was Franks house, yet it was never intended for him.
We venture out into worlds we don’t fully understand, to only return that much wiser. To dream is to be brave, dedicated and focused into overcoming the frustrations and fears of manifesting those desires into reality. We create understanding by forging experiences and developing relationships as a consequences of being a social species. Who’s purpose its to explore, create and and consume (a never ending process).
House can seen as the “square” confines we places ourselves into to protect us from the environment and each other. While home is the “cyclical” spaces in which we all exist. Life exist and happens between those boundaries. One in the same, a circle inside a square.
These ideas of “House and Home” exist in a Harmony of Difference. At the meeting point in a perfect place at a specific time in a specific place.
As we continue to develop, it is my hope and goal to let us all find that right place in space for a time. To look around and see life’s familiar faces all together again.
If there are any images you love and cannot live without shoot me a message. It would be my honor to share them with you. https://www.gabrielortiz.design/store
