The project ‘Home Sweet Homespital’ transforms my personal diary entries into 13 crafted plywood objects, each representing a facet of my isolation experience in the hospital. In the UK, ‘26 million people are diagnosed with long-term health conditions’ (NHS, 2018), often necessitating hospitalisation. Within the confines of hospital walls, a person metamorphoses into a ‘patient', leaving the comfort of their home and temporarily surrendering their identity and societal role—an experience intimately familiar to me through my diary entries that poignantly encapsulate this transformation. The methodology of my project involves the translation of raw, explicit and intimate accounts documented in my diary entries into a series of 13 metaphorical objects. Each crafted object serves as a vessel, encapsulating a specific aspect of my long-term isolation experience. The ultimate goal is to use the collection of these objects as a medium to convey a compelling narrative without relying on words and to elicit a visceral and poetic response from those engaging with the objects. To do so, the array of objects examines my experience and relationship with the built environment of the hospital and engages with ideas of seriality, repetition and movement.
