This work explores how people's unconscious habits, routines and behaviors shape us physically and psychologically. Instead of representing individuals, the work focuses on the traces left by repeated gestures, routines and invisible social structures. It explores both the comfort and enclosure of habit, asking whether our repeated behaviors shape or capture us.
