balcony fever dream

personal project

published in SHIFT magazine's "backyard trips" edition

a mixed media digital collage based on the "backyard trips" prompt and explores the concept of a backyard as a "foreign" concept

the backyard feels like an entirely foreign concept

apartment living has denied me of that quintessential suburban luxury

in its place the balcony operates as a command post towering above

where you can look out whilst others can look in

yet the beauty of this transitional space lies in the constantly changing outdoors

the sounds of league baseball games on warm nights

gatherings of dogs on cool mornings

families playing at the pool on hot summer days

and children sledding on chilled winter afternoons

the balcony is my backyard and each experience becomes its own trip

which blur together seamlessly into a cohesive fever dream
