Abstract
Closet Space is an exhibition investigating what makes a home. Through the creation of six drawings and seven prints, I investigate the relationship between isolation and companionship. This body of work explores the concept that a home is not simply a physical structure made up of walls and doors. Instead, it is about the emotional connections we create with places and people. Through fragmented memories, imagined environments, and a desire to connect with others, I address that the true meaning of home lies in our emotional attachments to inhabited spaces and the people we share them with. Being queer in the South heavily relies on the ability to perform. Balancing familial and societal expectations while staying true to myself was difficult. I use exaggerated perspectives and limited color palettes to examine my association with domestic interior settings, my sense of self, and my connections with others.
