To step into an installation of Davina Semo’s bells is to enter a sculptural soundscape—one that pulses with tension between solidity and resonance, austerity and sensuality. Her sculptural bells—cast in bronze—are architectural in scale and deeply acoustic in nature, engaging the body as much as the eye. Since her first solo show in New York over a decade ago, the San Francisco-based Semo has garnered attention for her ability to fuse raw materials with emotional precision, presenting work in public spaces like Brooklyn Bridge Park and settings such as the Jessica Silverman and SCAD Museum of Art.

For Form + Field, Empathetic Interiors is not a style but a philosophy. A practice of listening. A way of designing that begins with the human condition. Our practice operates from the belief that interior design is inseparable from emotional well-being. A home is a living organism: it shapes our moods, behaviors, and relationships just as we shape it.

Across Nimah Gobir’s vibrant canvases and sculptural installations lies a deeply personal archive—an inheritance of family photographs, textiles, and lived memories. Her work begins with the quiet act of looking: sorting through snapshots of Nigerian-born parents and extended family dispersed across Nigeria, London, and the U.S. These images become the raw material for layered domestic portraits that weave together memory, migration, and identity. By integrating photo transfers, expressive brushwork, and hand-stitched embroidery, Nimah blurs the boundary between documentation and devotion, creating pieces that resonate with both specificity and emotional depth.

Through these portrayals, Wong emphasizes that “we all deserve happiness and to be portrayed as such,” creating a world on canvas where inclusivity and harmony take center stage.

Site Visit to the Schindler House. Tucked away on a quiet street in West Hollywood, the Schindler House is a revelation—a radical experiment in modern living that still feels ahead of its time. Designed in 1922 by Austrian-born architect Rudolph Schindler, the house defies convention at every turn. There’s no formal front door, no traditional bedrooms, and barely any distinction between indoor and outdoor space. Instead, Schindler envisioned a communal live-work space that blurred boundaries, both physically and philosophically.

Site Visit to the Eames Archive. There are design legends, and then there are the Eameses – pioneers whose vision fundamentally reshaped how we think about and interact with the objects that fill our lives. Their influence has woven itself through my design journey since my college days, from countless hours studying their films to visits to the Eames House in Pacific Palisades. The 2024 opening of the Eames Archive offered an entirely new dimension to understanding their genius.
