Nested is a spatial organization project that maps the contents of my college bedroom as a system of nested containment. I've always had an inclination toward organization——sub-sub-folders into sub-folders, hair ties into glass jars into tin boxes into drawers, version histories into dedicated archive folders, and so much more...

Similarly, in this work I document how my physical objects are arranged inside one another, mirroring the folder hierarchies and versioned archives used to organize my digital files. Functonally, the work acts as a snapshot legend of my senior year bedroom, right before packing it. Conceptually, the work uncovers my desires to impose order as a way of managing complexity and uncertainty. The project questions whether control is achieved through structure itself, or merely performed through increasingly elaborate systems of documentation.
