Soap Niche captures a fragment of domestic architecture that is both utilitarian and intimate. Rendered in DryDex spackle, the tiled wall and recessed shelf evoke the quiet repetition of daily routines and the soft imprint of memory within private spaces. The thick, gestural texture resists the sterility of bathroom tile, instead emphasizing the labor and tactility behind its recreation. By isolating this overlooked corner of the home, the work draws attention to the emotional weight held by ordinary places—spaces where the body is both exposed and cared for.
