Where does private space begin?

“The word “privacy” derives from the latin “privare”, which means “to deprive”. Applied to a house, the idea of privacy was originally synonymous with preventing the outside from getting inside. It was the interior space that no one was invited nor allowed to peek at - the closed world, without windows. It was the manifestation of the place that belonged exclusively to the habitant.”

How is identity built in private? How is it built around objects?

“Only in private, people can exteriorize anything they want, without any filter or limitation - they can be who they truly are. They can store their dreams, live out their fantasies and explore their own inner limits. Privacy proves itself as a testing ground for how people are going to reveal themselves to the exterior, by allowing them to explore which personal aspects they will express outside and enabling them to build a distinctive identity.”
