I have returned to my family home and have been separated from my student home. My COVID-19 experience has impacted my environment as I learn to inhabit a personal space during these strange times. We must assume that an exchange exists between the outside, our homes and our inner selves. Though our concrete spaces may not physically or visually resemble our mental state, they are the result of our actions and mindsets. The more we dwell in these spaces, the more we influence our environment, leaving us to hold up a mirror to our mental state. Though we have always been partial to our homes, we have been forced to face our spaces. In addition to the stress of the uncertainty, our confinement has caused concern over mental health. We have been asked to stay in our homes and to distance ourselves from others. We have faced challenges that we had never expected to face and have often had to part from expectations we had set for ourselves. The COVID-19 pandemic has swept the world and has had a severe impact on humanity. Most likely, a great deal about ourselves can be understood by looking at the places we dwell in, as if these places were sensitive to the ebb and flow of our lives. Our inner selves are the unexposed core of our interiors but will inevitably spill out onto our physical selves and our environment. By allowing others to enter our personal interiors, we give them access to an aspect of who we are. They are our most private spaces and, thus, our most intimate spaces. Interiors are the parts of the world that are hidden from view.
