Zoom In Rising rents, precarious income structures, and the long-term unaffordability of home ownership shape how younger generations inhabit space. Personal style, interior aesthetics, and “Zoomer maximalism” become not markers of excess, but gestures of temporary belonging within places that cannot be secured. What often appears as expressive consumption is instead a response to displacement: a way to reclaim agency inside rented, transient environments. By presenting this scene through a format associated with real-estate listings and virtual tours, the work highlights the growing distance between the visual language of ‘home’ and the lived housing conditions of those who cannot realistically attain one. This work addresses the shifting realities of contemporary youth, for whom stable housing has become increasingly inaccessible.
