A repurposing of kitchen cupboards, dishware, and sponges into a data physicalization to reflect on our bias about labor at home.


The 1970s feminist movement Wages for Housework that asserted domestic labor should be compensated as labor still feels provocative and controversial despite all the progress made for gender equality in the public realm.


This project shows both how easy it is to quantify our domestic labor yet reminds us it is taboo to do so. In doing so, it simultaneously questions the assumption that data is objective and the home is immune to measurement.
