Presented is an excavation of the attic, a universal space of stored memory and Verticality. I climb up the creaking ladder into my forbidding attic with compassion and respect for its site of storage and secluded solitude. This project is heavily influenced by the work of French Philosopher GastonBachelard and his book The Poetics of Space, full of lyrical explorations on how our perceptions of houses and other shelters shape our thoughts and our memories.

This project is heavily informed by confessional art, focusing on an intentional revelation of the private self as I expose the inner happenings of a very confidential childhood home and the controversial methods that were used within it, particularly unsolicited surveillance and humiliation tactics.Presented in the form of an investigative case of these tactics, the work suggests the pronounce of guilty by display of questionable immoral behaviour and Subsequently of inadequate living conditions for a child.
