Sheltered Encounter |
The bathroom is a place of physical care taking. It is a place of retreat, where in the safety of privacy one cleans the body and rinses off the masks worn to adapt to public situations. It is therefore also a place of confrontation; the bathroom leaves no possibility to deny realities of the body. Normative imperfections or shortcomings must be dealt with or nursed. Physical conditions, changes or insecurities must be faced.
