Growing up, I hated how cluttered and “ugly” the inside of my house felt. As I got older, I began to understand that my parents were always working and simply didn’t have the time to clean or organize. Over time I began to see the clutter not as chaos, but as a quiet record of my family’s hard work.

To express this shift in perspective, I decided to photograph everyday scenes from my home using studio lighting. Under this lighting, the familiar spaces are transformed — the clutter becomes intentional, and begins to resemble a carefully constructed set. What once felt like disorder now feels like design.

Turning my home into a kind of stage allowed me to see the beauty in the real, lived-in textures of my home and to reclaim it as art.
