I THINK SOME WOULD ASSOCIATE THE CURRENT STAY-HOME SITUATION WITH CABIN FEVER, BUT I HOPE TO PRESENT OTHERWISE. THE HOME IS A SAFE SPACE IN WHICH ONE CAN CREATE ANY SCENARIO THAT ONE WANTS – IRRATIONAL SCENARIOS; PARALLELISM BETWEEN THE INDOORS AND OUTDOORS. COULD THERE BE A MIDDLE GROUND OR AN ALTERNATIVE REALM OF SORTS THAT CAN BE BOTH SIMULTANEOUSLY? HERE I’M CREATING AN ARBITRARY TRANSITION ZONE BETWEEN THE TWO, FUELLED BY MY IMAGINATION AND MEMORIES OF THE WORLD OUTSIDE. HOUSED WITHIN THE CONFINES OF MY WALLS, IT ALLOWS ME TO ROAM SAFELY.
