OutcomeProcessDuring WWI, living rooms were often repurposed as temporary storage spaces for the dead — earning them the eerie nickname “death rooms.” This unsettling detail sparked a question: how were housewives expected to host guests when their living rooms were filled with bodies?
Inspired by the wartime Women’s Home Journal, I imagined a surreal solution: a TV ad offering homemaking advice on how to style the dead. This darkly satirical campaign gives voice to the domestic pressure placed on women — even in the most unthinkable of circumstances.
