'Bathroom is a very specific space. It is both the most intimate part of one’s home but also the most public one. In many ways bathroom is the only part the house where our true personalities are shown. Sequenced way of observing them and showing them on the photographs is a way to show that complex personalities of people whose bathroom I’m photographing.' Ana Adamovic
