Suburbs

Suburbs captures the layered memory of home, where warmth and routine veil the mechanized grid of structure, repetition, and forgotten play. Children’s blocks and mattress springs—once familiar—become cryptic elements in a curated psychological space.

Suburbs presents a shadowed interior view through a reclaimed cabinet door, where a glimpse of domestic nostalgia meets latent unease. Inside, a vivid orange clock dial rises like a sun over a swirled, textured landscape, while beneath it, a grid of blackened children’s blocks peeks through a section of box spring. The distorted forms, partially obscured by fine brass mesh, evoke the coded complexity and hidden structure of suburban life.
