The meaning of people’s action to ‘cover’ can be interpreted diversely depending on personal, political, cultural and social situations.
By making 3 different provocative and intriguing pieces of ‘home-wears’, I have been stimulated by the objects and aesthetics of a table, kitchen and a shower booth.

One could change the perception of covering objects and by doing this, change our behavior toward that person/object that has been covered. This has been analysed in five different ways: to protect, to conceal, for comfort, to transform perception of an object and to personalise.
