Make Yourself at Home

MFA thesis exhibition.

Make Yourself at Home

Make Yourself at Home explores the tension between intimacy and performance, examining how we shape—and are shaped by—the spaces we occupy.

Through photographs and immersive installations, I investigate identity, domesticity, and self-preservation, asking what it means to make oneself within a culture of expectation.

The title plays on the double meaning of welcome and construction: how we decorate, soften, clean, and host, but also how we present, protect, and perform. From private rituals to public presentation, the show reflects the push-pull between wanting to be seen and needing to stay safe.

Thank you to everyone who visited, lingered, asked questions, or made themselves at home in the space.
