Interiors represent an extension of the cultural framework, and when those frameworks change, so must the perceptions of the interior. Imposed confinement resulting in deep reflection within the domestic space offers a critical view of familiarity and the constraints of reality. What was once an everyday experience is now a rarity, and exists in the mind as food for the imagination, further fueling the desire for a return to a sense of normalcy. Quarantine hinders the ability to experience what is most desired in a daily routine, thus those experiences can only be recounted through memory. These memories are proliferated through imagination, which transfigures and exaggerates the interiors into enhanced versions of what they embody. The house becomes a receptacle for memory and hope of the inhabitants, physically transforming to satisfy figments of their imagination.
