Many women find themselves in this position:
 silently running a home and family, creating beauty and order from chaos, but remain unnoticed by the outside world, the people around them, or even themselves. Yet, obsessing and perfecting the home and its accoutrements often shape the identity of many of us (not only women). Perfecting a space with objects or décor has become so central to
 our lives that one’s identity becomes fused with
 it to the point of invisibility. As a female artist, I confront the emotional issues of hiding, comfort,
and safety; how the home environment is a place
of perfection, and yet decoration camouflages
 one’s individuality to the point of claustrophobia.
I am photographically creating worlds that debunk, critique and satirise these myths of claustrophobic perfection. The draperies in these photographs act as both a visual cue as well as a literal interpretation of overidentification/obsession. Everyone has a hidden identity formed by personal traditions, memories, and ideas that are cloaked from the
outer world. Cultivating these inner psychological, emotional and intellectual worlds is perhaps our greatest challenge as people, wherever we come from or wherever we live.
