Playing on the feeling of smallness, the exhibition threshes out several aspects of interiors and definitions of complex: how being indoors means that additional furnishings or objects actually make it smaller; how staying indoors developed multiple anxieties and similar predicaments — some kind of complex — with it becoming the norm for some; and how no matter how basic or stripped down humans have had to become in isolation, they remain complex organisms physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

At this point, having to rekindle this romance with the outdoor built environment is more of a burden for some, with having to build up new foundations for interactions and sacrificing comfort and boundaries that people (and pets) worked hard to make peace with. In this time and age where new labels and terms to clarify humanity are coined almost everyday, let’s call it: we may have interiority complex.
