to dwell independently

To decorate always means to dwell. I had lived on my own in several different places but I never really decorate because they all felt just as a temporary place to crash before I had to move to another place. While on my parents' I don't really feel like dwelling because it doesn't feel like my own, living under supervision.

Eefje De Coninck, a Belgian photographer of my age, creates a series showcasing the living spaces of female artists. Well there might be a lot out there projects showcase the same thing, like The Selby or Freunde von Freunden, which I also love. But what makes this one different maybe because of its less-glamourous and down to earth nature and the way the photographs capture the melancholy of the place. And also, it focuses on single female artists, which screams a lot about independency.
 
I aaalways root for big windows. I work and feel better in a room showered with morning natural light. First thing I do arriving on my desk at the office is always to roll up the curtain allowing the light to brighten up the mood before brewing my cup of tea.

I can rant a long complain about how poor the housing system here in my current city, specially the dwelling system for single young workers, but let's just keep this post be a positive one and I'll save the latter for another time.

ps. i wonder if this is the ideal definition of dwelling
