interior
Interior marks rooms, enclosed stages, and psychological spaces where the figure is held rather than simply displayed.
Meaning
Interior does not only mean a painted room. It often means a pressure chamber: a place where the figure is contained, watched, dressed, or made to sit with memory.
The tag clusters with jackets, ghost, memory, portraits, and contemporary lane. That makes it useful for separating public spectacle from private or semi-private enclosure.
An interior can be domestic, institutional, theatrical, or mental. The archive often treats these spaces as frames that decide what kind of person the figure is allowed to become.
