SUBANG JAYA: School of Architecture, Building and Design (SABD) final-year students encouraged Taylor’s University community to pause and reflect on their lives by writing messages to their past or future selves.
“We want to remind visitors to look at what they have achieved and think of what they aspire to be next,” said Pause: An Architecture Exhibition organising chairman Muhammad Haziq Ariffin, 21.
Muhammad said, “I have always been taught by my favourite teachers that self-reflection is one of the most essential steps in the learning process.”
The message-writing on the installation board activity was the highlight of the exhibition, which attracted over 400 visitors.
A total of 345 messages have been written and hung onto the installation board during the exhibition from 4 to 9 September.
School of Education student Lum Kit May, 21, said, “It is definitely crucial to pause and reflect on our journey because one would need to think about how far one has travelled and what one had ‘picked up’ along the way.
“If I do not take the time to ponder on the happenings in my life, then I would have been going through the motions of life without learning anything new at all.”
When Lum was asked about the message she wrote on the installation board, she said, “Life does not travel in a straight line and you build the paths by yourself. Enjoy the journey and when we live our lives, the journey we pursue should be the one we’re excited about.”
Held at Centre of Design and Architecture Gallery, the exhibition also showcased SABD final semester students’ final-year project.
