In his exploration of authoritative architecture, Rifqi uses wood, wire, plaster and PVC to create architectural structures, giving shape and form to such dimensionless edifices as power and control. But he has created his structures with an open lattice framework to soften and make more porous the seemingly impenetrable—hard concrete bodies turned to organic-like skeletal forms.

Rifqi Amirul Rosli is an artist in Singapore whose works often deals with the in-between of things: states of suspension, transition, liminality. He probes into the construction of personal boundaries and speculative states that defines one’s purpose and sentimentality towards a place. He describes the personal connection one has to a physical, or an imagined place, which may not necessarily be a typical home, but could relate to a sense of familiarity, a tradition or a regular activity that becomes a part of one’s identity.
