‘The Inside Looking Out’ is a domestic residency begun during my fortnight self – isolation period. It is a melancholic representation of the mental health struggle experienced as a result of being stuck inside and cut off from others. Considering the suitcase as an obsolete object, I began to use it as a stagnant cabinet, waiting to embark on a journey that never seemed to begin. Coats not being worn became my company despite their emptiness, this reflecting the emotional emptiness I was personally experiencing.
