In "The Wipe Out: Correction Fluid for Life," Katherine Patiño Miranda invites individuals to erase their dislikes by bringing a giant correction fluid to public spaces. She examines balance and reliance in “A Drift,” where she navigates a raft in a Patagonian lake with tourists contributing clay. Additionally, her project “The Comforts” addresses New York City subway congestion by proposing a wearable inflatable device to foster personal space. These works reflect on the intersections of memory, comfort, and urban experience.
