Making:
An extensive Venetian arched passage located in a beach in Crete, with olive trees in the openings of the arches and water surrounding it. Textures of warm stone and fresco.
Even thought what I originally had in mind looked like this:
Dreamstudio really impressed me with the depth and volumed spaces it created.

Neither mathematically nor logically can our thoughts be confined to a specific point in space, as they evolve and develop over time. In fact, our thoughts don't even exist in physical space; they are products of our minds. However, the act of thinking itself exists in the realm of space and time, and often, we find ourselves mentally stuck in the same place while contemplating.
My thoughts are, of course, influenced by the space I am currently in and the time I have at my disposal. More time can lead to an increased number of thoughts, but it can also be devoted to fully developing a single thought. Similarly, the physical environment I am in when I'm thinking can inspire me, make me feel safe, and lead to a surge of thoughts and creative solutions.
Likewise, our media cannot be constrained by mere time and space. If I were to discuss my own profession as an architect, my medium is space itself. I would argue that my architectural creations exist in time unless someone decides to demolish my buildings or destroy all my renderings and drawings. It's a fortunate position to be in.
As a creative person and an architect, I admire that I can translate my thoughts into media. For instance, when designing a house, I use sketching or sculpting as the medium to convey my proposal. By using my hands as a medium, I can give form to my thoughts in space and allow them to evolve over time.
I used to think that my thoughts could come and go, that they could intertwine with each other, overlap, or overlay. However, after the meditation exercise we did class where we were given time to let our thoughts surface, I discovered that I had the ability to control them and set each thought aside. Specifically, I could create space for the next thought once I was done with the current one. If I were to relate this to our ability to perceive reality, I would say that we possess the capacity to shape our thoughts.
My experience is relative and grows over time, particularly if I continue working in my profession and chosen medium.
If I were to create a medium that transcends the limitations of time and space, I would develop a 3D printer or digital topography tool capable of reproducing our thoughts in digital, physical or a hybrid version of a mental space. The purpose would be to access and continue working on these thoughts at any moment. I believe that visualizing our thoughts is key to making progress. It would enable us to organize, prioritize, and determine the order in which we address them without forgetting any, as I desired to do in class. However, this raises questions about space: where would this information be stored, and time: when can we think, and how much can we think, and how many thoughts can we generate and recreate?
