Despacho 211 is a spatial installation conceived as the office of a psychiatrist Presented as part of Casas Project 2025, Quito, Ecuador. The space examines power, distance, and psychological exposure through controlled proportions and a deliberately restrained setting.

A central desk structures the room, operating as both a site of dialogue and a physical barrier. Objects are reduced to their essential presence, reinforcing formality and discipline. Saturated red surfaces eliminate neutrality and compress the space visually, heightening emotional tension. Overhead light is evenly diffused, flattening shadows and leaving no area concealed.

Rather than offering comfort, Despacho 211 stages a moment of confrontation—quiet, measured, and uneasy—where authority and vulnerability coexist.
