A Walk Home Alone at Night is an immersive virtual reality experience that places the viewer inside the familiar yet fraught act of walking home alone after dark. Told from a first-person perspective, the piece unfolds in real time as the participant moves through a quiet nighttime environment. Empty streets, dimly lit sidewalks, passing cars, distant footsteps, everything feels charged.

As the walk progresses, subtle sensory cues through spatial sound, shifts in light, and moments of proximity build a mounting sense of unease. The experience mirrors the heightened awareness many women and gender-expansive people carry in public space: the constant calculation of risk, the tension between vigilance and vulnerability, and the fear that emerges not from spectacle, but from anticipation.

Rather than relying on overt violence or narrative exposition, A Walk Home Alone at Night operates as psychological horror grounded in lived experience. By inviting participants to inhabit this embodied state, the work transforms an everyday routine into a quiet confrontation with gendered fear, public space, and the invisible systems that shape who feels safe and who does not, after nightfall.
