The Guest Room

“The Guest Room” is an intimate photography project exploring the emotional depth of a transient space through natural light portraits within my home’s guest room. Inspired by its role as a refuge during journeys, the project embraces the creative constraints of limited space to ignite imagination.

Each portrait reflects themes of safety, shelter, and escape—elements that transform the guest room into a personal haven of warmth and solace. The series examines the duality of identity within these walls—where one can rest, dream, and reinvent oneself. The images portray both physical presence and emotional journeys—finding, losing, and transforming oneself, and daring to envision future selves.

Reimagining it through this small-scale installation that evokes a guest room, this series of portraits deconstructs the experience of inhabiting a home space. By exposing the hidden structural elements—such as wire and hinge tape—the work reduces the space to its core components. This layered deconstruction encourages reflection on the ways we perceive and construct personal and domestic environments, blurring the lines between concealment and revelation in the process.
