Process

The opening room

The fictional character Y begins in a subdued bedroom. Dark bedding, wood and devotional objects establish the opening composition and the expectations surrounding the character.

Process

A change in objects and colour

Coloured light, blue-rose satin, pink feathers and accessories alter the same bedroom. These changes in fabric, objects and personal presentation make the fictional character’s growing self-expression visible.
