“a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction.” In 1928, Virginia Woolf identified the conditions for women to engage in creative work.
At the beginning of the project, I received photos of the rooms from 26 female creators and interviewed some of them. In their descriptions, the rooms are a museum of memories, a sanctuary, a treehouse. They camp, write, paint, and write music in the room. The room is not only a coordinate in reality, but also a solid shelter in people's minds, a composite space where the past memories and future fantasies are intermingled.
The illustrations act as a complement to the room, depicting the unspeakable and unobservable parts of the room, as well as people's fantasies, feelings, memories, and emotions. They form the whole 'room' together with the interviews and photographs.
