Apartment No.8 is a large-scale, life-size immersive installation built from a handwritten diary created during rehabilitation after escaping relational abuse and a violent breakup. Diagnosed with anxious depression, I was asked to rest at home as much as possible. Instead of safety, the home became a trap - every object, texture and surface carried memories.

Transforming an entire room into a fragile architecture of memory, the work explores how trauma becomes embedded in ordinary objects, domestic spaces and the body itself. Each chapter of the diary enters a different domestic space, where ordinary details reveal the weight of emotional cycles: walls carry blame, windows surveil, doors open only to ultimatums, while textures and objects hold entire histories within them.

Apartment No.8 brings these psychological landscapes into full scale. A 1:1 room is built entirely from the handwritten diary itself: a paper interior, as fragile as the feelings it contains, fragmented like memory and translucent like skin. Voices from the diary overlap in a shifting soundscape - the noise of a mind where memories refuse to remain silent.

The work questions the extent to which it is possible to start afresh. Even a blank page carries the weight of the pages that came before it. Apartment No.8 is not a reconstruction but a memory-room: an architecture of trauma and survival, where text becomes walls, the house becomes the body, and the body carries everything that was done to it.
