About the Artwork

The work, a piece of flattened (or silhouette) of furniture, is made to unpack what constitutes the concept of home, and one wonders why only when we start to put furniture in situ, that we transform a space to home. These smaller than life size, portable and collectable domestic items reimagine the physicality of a fractional ownership.
