Home Fitness explores the development of my domestic partnership with Matt, and the navigation of both contemporary and traditional metaphors and ideals of desire, and the domestic space. The photographs include banal scenes from our apartment and surrounding environment, to the more obviously staged or manipulated scenarios. Through these images, my goal is to both adhere to but subvert ideals, a balancing act between the personal and the expected.
