Mundanity and spirituality are two important key words in bricolage. However, with the development of the times, mudnanity and spirituality have taken on a new dimension. For mundanity, people's right to creative freedom in their everyday lives has been greatly restricted. In the case of spirituality, the complexities of the present age are also becoming increasingly apparent. This project aims to discuss how these two points can be reflected in the design.
