Folding clean laundry is my favorite chore, and absolutely a privilege. My interest in simple daily tasks such as doing laundry began while studying minimalism and simple living. While living alone for the first time I begun documenting the laundry I folded on paper (bottom). My professors in Shenkar, studying visual communications loved it, and we tied it to my project for class at the time, about homeless people. For this reason, I felt inspired to later use pieces of cardboard as my canvases (top).
I continued the laundry pile series in 2024, living alone again after having taken a long break to rest at my parents' house after completing my difficult college studies. The many meanings of the project don't change, but rather they are added like layers. This project is very dear to me and carries many important concepts about the particular time we live in, the specific time in my life, and the simple beauty, or balance, that I want people to notice.
