Have you ever thought about who cleans your house, and why? This project delves into stories of domestic labor and how gender roles start within the home. Through interviews, narrative photography, ceramics, and interactive exhibitions, this project challenges traditional norms, sparking critical conversations about equality and the spaces we inhabit. Now, ask yourself, who does the chores in your home?

Within The Home

This photobook is the culmination of interviews exploring diverse perspectives on domestic labor. Featuring candid photos taken in participants' homes as they completed chores, it weaves together personal narratives and reflections on household roles and experiences. Through these stories, the book highlights the unseen dynamics of domestic work and its impact on everyday life.

Research and process

Portfolio and Research

This portfolio captures the evolution of my creative process, from initial exploration to final conclusions. It showcases how I navigated research, experimentation, and artistic expression to answer the question: “Can art and personal narratives be used to challenge and reimagine gendered roles within the home?” The result is a body of work that reflects both inquiry and impact.
