I turned my intimate spaces into places of observation, as if i could represent the gaze of the other, a created evidence of surveillance. I was both aware of being watched and committed to the act of looking into and at myself, exploring the duality of rejecting the gaze and enjoying it. I question, in the territory of staging, what could be my boundaries between private and public, and who could I perform to be when nobody is watching.
