The Locker

The Locker visualizes the shrinking spaces of individuality within rigid workplace structures. A lone figure sits tucked inside an office locker, surrounded by binders and files — a stark metaphor for how identity, creativity, and humanity are often boxed into systems of efficiency and control. It reflects the quiet isolation of corporate environments, where personal expression is confined and workers are reduced to storage units of output.

The cold geometry of the lockers contrasts with the vulnerability of the human form, underscoring the dissonance between organizational order and lived experience. The Locker asks: what parts of ourselves are we forced to hide in order to fit into institutional molds?
