Over lockdown many people began to question their gender or come out as transgender. Re-assessing your gender performance and your personal relationship to your body is one thing, but how do you go about practising feng shui with the Victoria Beckham perfume on your shelf or the delicately hidden Spider-Man sheets? I've interviewed a small group of those questioning and out about the gender euphoria of repainting your bedroom walls. Visually my video piece focuses on the material possessions that clutters your room and the gaze of the house cat watching you hoover. Cat fur, a hot water bottle tattoo and the collecting dust bunnies on a shelf can either make you sneeze or feel at home.
