Black Domestic Home: Deconstructing Suburbia uses the bathroom as a microcosm within the suburban home, Sydney used the drawings of Alexander Kira as a vantage point, seeing promise in imagining new bodily configurations in a historically unchallenged space. This project centers her observations as a child in a Haitian- Cuban household, its rituals and practices, as guiding principles to create new datums of privacy.
