In Head 5, a taxidermied deer is mounted in the dull transition between a staircase and a doorway. Harsh, direct lighting casts a sharp, multi-pronged shadow that looms over the space. Placed near a blue Post-it note and a generic grey door, the trophy becomes a silent observer of domestic routine. Merrill highlights the eerie integration of the wild into the repetitive, sanitised structures of contemporary suburban life.
