The 12th House was my final project for my Creative Writing class in my first year of my MFA.

I’ve learned throughout my first year in school that I really enjoyed crafting things with my hands. I made a pop-up book, I made sculptures, and I wanted to make something of that caliber for my final project.

The 12th House is a second POV story in which you have inherited your ancestral home. You contemplate on what to do with the house as you reflect on your family, their treatment of you, and what this house means to you. An exploration in how the cycles of our families effects us and what we can do to break them. Follow the color coded words on which room to go to next.

Below are photos of the completed house, along with a digital exploration of the project.
