As I started documenting things I do in my home I came to realize that there are a lot of things that I take for granted. When I started filming my self-making a cup of tea I started realizing things I never noticed before, such as touch, smell, noise, emotions and memory. Every time I would make a cup of tea I would experience different things such as the smell of the steam brushing on my face, the different noises that occur from time to time and the thoughts and memories that come up in my mind, the smell that brings up all memories weather good or bad. Feeling the different surfaces weather cold, hot, rough, smooth or slippery. Watching the tea getting ready makes me zone out to this other world; I call it the interior of my thoughts. As soon as the hot tea touches my lips and the fragrances rush up my taste buds I would snap back to the real world.












As I got to know my home more and more I realized how quiet it was, something I never came across until I started filming my real space and my imaginary space (the journey from the noisy city to the quiet home). Every time I would walk home I would hear and sea things I never notice before but was always there like construction sites, the noise and smell of the rain, people walking and talking.  i started noticing sounds like the door squeak when I closed the door, the door slamming back, the door knob turning, the key sliding in to the lock, the carpet noise when I walk  and by body rubbing ageist the doona when I tuck my self into bed, the plait noise while doing the dished and other strange noises the come from the unknown.
