Personal Space Bubble
2023
Personal Space Bubble was created to represent the disconnection I often feel to my surroundings, due to suppressing my autistic traits, or masking, in order to feel socially accepted. The room within a room is meant to become a safe space, allowing me to unmask and decompress, but the more I stand there, the more I realize my inability to hide who I am.
This installation is meant to provide viewers with a better understanding of how it feels to hide parts of one’s identity, while in return, making them more accepting of people’s differences.
