Escapist

I am interested in escapism not as freedom, but as something that can become another kind of enclosure. I play through imaginary worlds to escape, but the apartment follows me. The longer I stay inside the world I have made, the more frightening the outside one becomes. A true sanctuary is often imagined as a space where one can shed the masks required in public, but in this work, the private space does not offer release. Instead, it becomes another system of performance, repetition, watching, and control.
