Afternoon Daydreams, my final project at Emily Carr, explores a domestic bathroom space with a skewed perspective and flattened spatial rendering, where objects are scattered and haphazardly placed, creating both a comforting and uneasy insight into the occupant of the room. The compression of space and distortion of perspective rejects accurate representation, instead reflecting the fluid, unreliable, and playful nature of memory. Rooted in themes of domesticity and everyday life, the scene draws on familiar, intimate environments while disrupting their sense of order. The flatness and repetition of forms evokes a sense of childhood nostalgia, where spaces are remembered less as accurate depictions and more as emotional impressions. Viewed through this lens, the bathroom becomes less of a literal site and more of a depiction of an experience, a moment in time shaped by changing emotions and the fading of a memory.
