"I shot these pictures in my new apartment. My partner and I just moved from Perth/Boorloo to Naarm and we've been so excited to finally live together. I'm a bit in love with our new apartment but our spare room (which will soon be a music studio/arts and crafts space/cute activities hobby fantasy land) is a chaotic mess. We have yet to properly unpack our suitcases and put away the piles upon piles of clothes that have been strewn out on the floor. I started shooting at midday and the weather was grossly hot and sticky. The air had an indecisive thickness to it, like the afternoon was didn't know what it wanted to be. Soon after I finished taking photos there was a massive downpour. I watched the raindrops racing each other down the living room windows from our new (second-hand) arm chair that we found at Salvos. I was nervous for this shoot but I slowly felt more and more confident and at ease as it went on. Maybe it was getting used to the camera, maybe it was putting away some of the clothes, maybe it was the rain. I don't know xx."
