 For each of us, there exists a dreamlike home, a house of memory-dream, lost in the shadow of a beyond, beyond the true past.

 

Gaston Bachelard, La poética del Espacio. 

Casa de día

The daytime house is a place of light and air.

It is a space to gather oneself, to live dreams and memories.

It is a place for direct contact with the elements of nature, both inside and outside.

It is a mental refuge, where the immaterial and being govern.

 

Casa de noche

The nighttime house represents an absolute and solitary refuge, silent and dark.

It is a hideaway to seek shelter and regain strength.

It is a metaphorical space where the nomadic aspects of the human psyche can rest.

Every uncontrolled and confused thought needs a space and time to be organized.
