In We Are Living in a Room, I approach the human body through the lens of its "exterior" and "interior," becoming increasingly interested in how a rigid outer structure contains and supports a soft, pliable interior. I understand the exterior as hard, geometric, and structured, while the interior is organic, fluid, and unpredictable. These contrasting conditions exist in a delicate, symbiotic balance.
This duality forms the core of the series. I juxtapose materials that embody these opposing qualities: glass bottles and acrylic boxes suggest the body's structured exterior, while sponges, scouring pads, stockings, cotton, soundproof panels, bubble wrap, aqua sticks, and corrugated tubes evoke a yielding, visceral interior.
