// WHAT
The second collection in the STORIES series
35 cubist house exteriors, each paired with a 30-word story of private life
Every house looks ordinary from the outside. Nothing inside is
An exploration of the gap between what neighbours see and what is behind closed doors
// HOW
Each piece pairs a digitally rendered cubist exterior with a micro-story
The cubist form mirrors the concept: multiple perspectives on the same surface, none of them complete
// WHY
We construct narratives about the people around us from fragments: a light left on, a sound through walls, a smile that returns too fast
Private life is not what the facade suggests
// INSIDE
Concealed grief and quiet rituals sit alongside mounting anxieties and unexpected tenderness
A family portrait taken the week before a diagnosis
Three generations kneading dough, the recipe never written down
A woman rehearsing explanations for bruises before waving cheerfully at her neighbour
A retired teacher navigating a medical cannabis prescription and a pension that doesn't stretch
A couple dancing without music, dementia taking the words, leaving the movement
The sequencing moves through emotional registers deliberately
// CONTEXT
Behind Closed Doors follows Leo & Neil, the first STORIES collection, which explores the cost of belonging inside a relationship
Where Leo & Neil looked inward at two people, Behind Closed Doors looks outward at a street, a suburb, a world of closed doors
The STORIES series continues, each collection a different set of lives, each piece 30 words or less
