Wash/Closely
Wash/Closely is a nomadic device designed to bring the rituals surrounding the bathroom sink into a public space. Each side of the device is almost identical, with a mirror, washcloth, et cetera. An opening above the sink provides a view through to the opposite side, creating a shared space. The boundary between “yours and mineâ€, then, becomes blurred. How does the daily ritual of washing change when forced to share personal space?
