The Poetics of Space (1958) by Gaston Bachelard is a philosophical meditation on how the spaces we inhabit, such as houses, rooms, corners, and even small objects like drawers or shells, shape our inner lives. Through a blend of phenomenology and poetic reflection, Bachelard explores how memory, imagination, and emotion intertwine within intimate environments. Rather than focusing on architecture as structure, he considers it as lived experience, how space becomes a vessel for dreaming, comfort, and the depth of human feeling. This text resonates with my practice through its sensitivity to the ordinary and its belief that the smallest, most domestic spaces can hold profound emotional and aesthetic value. It aligns with my exploration of slow, intentional living, finding beauty and meaning in the everyday acts and environments that quietly shape who we are.
