Challenge:

In the fast-paced city life, where everyone is caught up in the rush, there’s a desire to escape and find a breathing space. It’s like discovering a hidden corner, a small oasis amidst the chaos, where stories can be unearthed. Whether it’s getting lost in a favorite song with a cup of coffee, diving into a computer game, or finding solace in a rooftop garden, people carve out personal escapes. Behind closed doors, solitude unfolds its beauty—a space to dream, laugh, and feel. These escape spaces, often underestimated, they briefly lift the weight of city life, step into a world uniquely theirs.

This competition seeks innovative ideas about “escape space” through illustration, sketches, or space design. The contestant is free to their project location. This can be an existing place, or maybe an imaginary place.

For example,

A cozy attic space, A balcony, Favorite corner in room, Tree house etc.
