“Lacing Home”
Concept | Home setting is a place of the past and present. The past constructs a facade, masking the truth. The facade was maintained by being told “get to the backyard.” The present exposes the true reality with a foundation built around pride. The house appeared perfect until interrogation began. Through interrogation, the truth was revealed. With knowledge of the truth, a broken structure has been erected. As a wall is forcibly being built against identity, the more manifestation of discovery will occur. As the house is rebuilt, what happens in the front yard will stay. Will you see me?
