Emotional Furniture
We typically take lengths to be “presentable” before facing others; here we witness the moments prior to that. A peep into the normally mundane morning routine, with a twist. The enclosed nature of the box is not dissimilar to the boundaries set by one’s home. The box is a microcosm of the safety of our own homes, transported to be displayed at the Bentway.
