The Sensory Index
Field Notes on Space, Object, and Atmosphere.
Not a map, but a memory. An archive of the interesting.
Back then, one of my early projects was about forcing photography to speak. I didn't want a flat image; I wanted texture. I built dresses out of Skittles and printed on rice paper, trying to create a multi-sensory playground.
Today, my approach has shifted. I no longer feel the need to build the set. I let the object—the cafe, the cup, the space—exist first. My role is to step back, observe, and extract the senses that are already there.
The Sensory Index is not a guide telling you where to go. It is a collection of "film reviews" for the physical world. While others look at the plot (the hype), I am looking at the cinematography (the lighting, the branding, the brew ratio).
I record the details that others miss, not to help you avoid pitfalls, but to offer a different angle of appreciation. This is a personal archive of inspiration: saved, stamped, and shared.

Out of the noise, these are the signals. The defining moments of liquid, solid, and space that justify the journey.
Field Note 004: unDer Lab
This is a sensory audit of unDer Lab, an appointment-only cocktail space in Taipei. When a desert escape branded as "Absurdism" is packaged into a Sunday-only, 90-minute table-turnover rate alongside bilingual commentary from bartenders in standard black shirts, the commercial script suffers a structural fracture. In the void left by the absence of a "Recalibration" space, it is the objects—an iron ball pulled by magnets, a card revealed by heat—that hijack the sensory system with real, physical friction.
