Intimate /ˈɪn.tɪ.mət/ — adjective: Deeply personal, private, or closely bound to one's body and life.

Underwear is our most personal layer—worn next to the skin, hidden, and essential. Here, garments crafted from the plastic linings of single-use paper cups hang to dry on an Edwardian rack, laying bare just how intimately our daily lives are entangled with unsustainable production.

The work "airs out" the quiet greenwashing that masks convenience culture, while confronting the reality of consumer guilt. Making "clean" or sustainable choices is often expensive, complex, and inaccessible to low-income households. By placing these plastic garments within the grand bedroom of the historic Pah Homestead, Intimate Objects reflects on economic privilege, showing that while eco-anxiety affects us all, the ability to buy one's way out of culpability is a luxury few can afford.
