This photo series explores how living completely separate lives while in a sharehouse is an almost universal experience of entering adulthood. While characterised by fleeting interactions, misaligned schedules, communication by post-it notes on fridges, and a hint of loneliness, there is a sense of playfulness in these collective households. In exploring these intimate spaces, the innermost feelings of their residents are revealed: boredom, despair, vanity, and a little dress up.
