Gregor’s Room

 

The biggest feeling I got when reading Gregor’s Room was feeling uncomfortable. I decided to channel this feeling for my composition. Instead of making a traditional bed, I chose to make each part of the bed a different shape from what it would traditionally be. Another theme from the story that I wanted to capture was the idea of growing out of oneself. To show this I decided to have a childlike pattern with a variety of colors for the bed frame and then have darker, and more muted colors for the other parts of the bed such as the box spring and blanket. The alarm clock was a feature to represent lost time which is why the numbers are mixed around on the clock.
