to love, and be loved / to hurt, and be hurt / a vicious circle that never ends / we must love one another or die / knowing that / there's a place in the heart that will never be filled

The three different worlds in relation to each other. Part of The Woods has been destroyed to build The Hotel.

Collage of The Hotel, a twisted perspective of a classical and conventional idea. Overwhelming presence of pairs.

Inspiration and rough plan for The Hotel complex, shapes that are mating, maze-like geometrical quality, puzzles finding their missing piece.

Prison and dead corner as an emotional metaphor for The Hotel. The longing for the unreachable nature/outside world.

Architectural reference. Alcove, floating beam, row of double columns.

Animal display as a hint of the possible destiny for the guests, or it being the failed-to-love guest.

A sketch of The Hotel lobby, looking towards the lounge.

Sketch of David's room in The Hotel, a sharp angle room with a bed like a coffin.

Collage of The Woods, a grim and dangerous to be, industrial wastes invading nature.

Collage of The Town, too ideal to be real, everything's perfectly in sync with the stereotype rules of the society.

Colors are pastel and dreamy, a floating sense of serenity with uncertainty underneath.

Last scene of the story, the fairyland-like palette pushes the decision that David’s about to make even more absurd, surreal, and brutal.

Symmetry as a representation of the town that’s too perfect.
