"You're in a Room"

"You’re in a Room" is a compressed depiction of a bedroom. With this piece I’m reflecting on my relationship with homes after living in many that have not been my own. I create a human habitat that is natural in the sense that it’s outside and made from things that are supposed to house us, yet unnatural because the viewer can’t interact with it. Comfort is commonly associated with bedrooms, the use of found furniture shows the distance in my relationship between physical homes. However, I feel that spiritually all the places I’ve lived come together to shape my identity for the better.
