Our Houses Are Mirrors of Ourselves







"In houses there are many entwined forces memories and experiences"

My personal space is my home. Where i am comfortable, I spend most my time in my room in bed relaxing. This is my place of warmth, my central being. It is here where I rest my head at night, wake up to hear the birds churp outside. If I do not wake up in my home, my bed - Im outside my comfort zone. It is my 'chance to sift through history and tap into memories.'

"Valueless but of great value"

Within this project i was inspired by Tracey Emins "Bed" and the controversy surrounded by the theme. Instead of exploiting the graphic details in what take place in my home - I glorified the fact that this is where things for me end each day. I sleep away by stress, troubles and worries. Virginia Woolfe was a feminist novelist in whom sufferred several depression causing her to take her own life. Her works are deep and meaningful, which led her to over think and discard her sanity. This make me question where my home is, and if it affects my comfort zone in any way. I illustrated my surroundings; My country, my city, my borough and my zone.

"Emotional potency of object, space, colour and conditions."
