Domestication explores the concept of domestication as a gradual process through which individuals are shaped by social structures, systems, and everyday environments. The project focuses on seemingly benign acts of adaptation—living, using, and repeating routines—and examines how they quietly influence bodily behaviour, perception, and psychological states.
By transforming familiar domestic objects and structures, the work places ideas of comfort, safety, and convenience into a subtly unsettling context. Constraints within the objects, modes of operation, and bodily feedback reveal the blurred boundary between care and control, suggesting that domestication is not only imposed externally but also internalised over time.
Rather than offering judgement, Domestication uses material, structure, and interaction to reflect on how rules become absorbed through prolonged exposure, eventually forming part of what is considered normal and everyday.
