Gregor's Room
FINAL PHOTOS
Artist Statement
This sculpture collection reflects my interpretation of the short story The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. In the story, Gregor is described to instinctively lock all doors, including at home, out of habit after spending so much time at hotels. When he finally rises from his bed after dealing with the initial shock of his transformation, he attempts to unlock his door at his family's request, secreting brown goo over the object as he turns it. With this in mind, I decided that he would be best represented as a key to call back to this defining habit and his more introverted nature, and the goo coating the key shows the disruption of his routines through his metamorphosis. Being based on the first part of the story, I wanted the room overall well kept with only small things being off, such as the dirty key, untucked bed, and dingy colors. Gregor describes his room as average, so I kept any fancy flourishes to a minimum, depicting the walls as white and his bed a simple wooden frame.
