“The Bathroom Series” explores the private space where one (hopefully) practices basic hygiene.  The quotidian routines we perform in this space are seldom witnessed by others, except perhaps for one’s family, making them unconventional sights for public eyes.  Since these actions are performed habitually every day, we generally do not give them our full attention, let alone know what we look like when we do them (or even consider if there is a different method).  The bathroom is the one room in our homes where we can expect to be alone when we occupy it, yet it is simultaneously shared with the people we live with.  I enjoy exploring the tension between the private and public nature of this space.  In highlighting these acts of cleanliness (and other things we do in the bathroom, like look at ourselves in the mirror and check our phones), I hope to promote questions about what it means to literally and metaphorically clean our bodies, and how our relationship between our bodies and minds transform when we are in this space.
