Requiem for a Home

This series examines the concept of home in which the inhabitant struggles with the curation of their domestic atmosphere and the deficiency of comfort and vulnerability that often accompanies it. While “home” implies some sort of material ownership or connection through childhood moments, the space plays a significant role in identity and memory.

Tension with domesticity is expressed with self-portraiture that exposes an internal conflict with an external space. The figure is often passive, enveloped, hiding itself from purview in an attempt to maintain privacy. These images are then broken up by carefully curated domesticated nature that make reference to one another through an organic identity. One of which is fluid and easily manipulated, yet resistant to control.
