GALLERY
A house is not just a place you call home or a place that has four walls and a roof. It’s more than that, what is the real meaning of being home? No one can break it down for us. We can fantasize about it or build one in our minds.
Taking the method of borrowing and returning and sharing with everyone, "COME OUT OF THE CLOSET!" will our audience come down and get to share material with the community and also open up their problems.
Having a sense of self-worth comes from the inside and not the outside. The collection will show the tough and messy progress of building a skyscraper.
Some days, we struggle to love who we are and feel like changing everything about ourselves. Without exception, we struggle with the negative voices in our heads. We allow society's perception of what is good for us get into our heads.
In this modern world students forget how important to self love. And self-love is on just uploading a picture on social media and waiting for the likes and comment. It takes more small practice such as putting yourself first .

Love hurts at times, and some may leave scars in the past. Sometimes we wonder if this love will cure our pain or worsen it.
One second you're fine and the next second you're acting up for no apparent external reason. You can't stop feeling the pain and numbness
even if the "damage is done" and you're wondering if it even matters anymore.
