A Room With a View

It is quite obvious from the pictures that I have a healthy obsession with type in general. I love or used to love collecting typography oriented prints. Initially I wanted to incorporate this mess into a controlled chaotic situation but that didn't feel quite right.

Then I wanted to make it into a little game. The idea was to place the words in my room in their correct places on SketchUp. That didn't look great and felt quite empty regardless of the mess I actually live in.

Then I had the idea of assigning every furniture in my room a letter and extrude them according to their emotional gravity. For example the Bed got the letter B for obvious reasons and it's pull is the strongest due to it's power of swallowing me whole for what can be days or seconds and I cannot tell the difference as I rot in my own flesh. This version was way better than the idea I had before but I felt uncomfortable with random letters meaningless combinations.

Then I fooled around a bit with the program until I got the idea of placing a 3d text that reflects on my current state in general and casting it's shadow upon my tiny little room. This idea is currently what I'm working on feels the most accurate but I'm still unsure of which word I should use. I'm certain that I want to express obscurity. I chose the word Limbo first but then I realized it can be anything and changed it to MUALLAK which is an ancient way of saying 'uncertain'.
