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
