"This series was inspired by all those things, but very specifically by the work of Carl Jung and the French philosopher Gaston Bachelard," explains photographer Danielle Quenell about her series Spatial Primitives.

"They both wrote extensively on the psychological aspects of physical space and architecture-- how we shape it and how it, in turn, shapes us. " When you consider that Danielle did this project during the pandemic while living in a studio apartment, this becomes all the more fascinating. Part of the American dream is to have a big three-bedroom house with a large family, a picket fence, and all. But that dream has fallen out of favor for most of us. Instead, Danielle embraced the distance from people as she let her creativity flow freely. .
