This thesis documents the creative and theoretical process of an installation art work based on two concepts: nostalgia and materiality, analyzing both their meaning and importance, and how they link up. In addition, the artist's personal way of viewing nostalgia is delved into, explaining how this emotion reminds her of her grandparents house, a place that is referenced in each sculpture within the installation. Nostalgia is simplified as a sign through semiotics, which comes to life as a square module through materiality and its experimentation. Lastly, an artwork is created by incorporating the artist's personal experience, nostalgia as a social concept and materiality as the tangible element within the work, altogether creating an installation that imitates a family room composed of several sculptures enclosed by soft modules that accomplishes to create a space based on these concepts.
