    The motivation interested me, refers to the idea that the space where one's stand at a specific moment, plays an important role in the image that created a specific identity. A space exists through a cultural identity, which connects to the personal identity. Public spaces are an interesting place and a good way to see how one's interact with others and how one's hand many different identities at a same time. Through this interest, I started to create a connection and enclose a clearest reflection of the minimalist work of the artist Donald Judd and the company The Home Depot. After some research and experiences with Judd and the store (Home Depot), I drives my project in a new direction that includes a reflection on both subjects. The question was: how can I transfigure my interest in the minimalist work of Judd and my aesthetic fascination of Home Depot to create a relation between both subjects and produce a new vision of that self-created collaboration.
    To approach and “solve” the research question, a good understanding on both studies is required. I decide to focus my interest in a specific concern of Judd and the company. There is, in the work of Judd an interesting question of what is design and what is artwork. Through his practice, he broke the boundaries that were applied for a long time between those two “different” fields. Moreover there is, in his work, an unclear inquiry of copyright. His work is diverse and exceeds the mediums of painting and sculpture, which permits other artists, or manufactures, to reference his work. Judd's work finally becomes a tool to allow a new way of seeing the art and inspires a lot of companies to revisit or give the possibility to reproduce objects that have similarities of the artwork of Judd. Formerly, which leads me to the concept of the DIY that is present in the policy of the company The Home Depot. Contemplating and researching deeply about Judd and Home Depot, my final project was born. I create a work that translate the idea and image of Judd, adding The DIY and the visual aesthetic of Home Depot at a same time. I select different materials and structures to work with alongside the plywood, materials of a different character such as concrete and fluorescent lights. I play with these deconstructed products by mixing them together as a piece in my own way of the DIY approach.
    Referencing Judd is an opportunity to challenge myself with what is to reference and thus redefine art.
