This project explores the concept of a house as an ecosystem facilitating the cohabitation of different creatures. Common household items — a ladder, hearths, stairs, pipes — compose an abstract dream-like domestic space through pastels and distorted scales. This peculiar dreamscape stages a dinner for all inhabitants, following each one as it bounces, wiggles, or slithers its way to the table. The centrality of the dinner table within the staged environment reflects its importance in creating opportunities for interaction and activity among cohabiting creatures.
