“Homes,” a solo exhibition by art photographer Gretchen So, explores the harmony and contradiction between the ideal and the norm of the living culture in North American society.
The featured images of domestic environments are psychological portraits of their inhabitants. The exhibition prompts viewers to speculate on their background, question the context of the interiors, or even imagine the character of these remote occupants.
