Description
This is a story about home and its significance for those who have become immigrants — whether by force or by choice.
Through photography, I aim to tell the stories of these people, capturing them in places or with objects that give them a sense of belonging, and to understand what home is made of — memories, smells, recurring rituals, and habits. Has the understanding of home in their new reality fundamentally changed? Perhaps, in the traditional sense, home no longer exists.
For me, this project is about exploring others' experiences through immersing myself in each story. It’s also about self-discovery, as I am someone who recently left my home. I keenly realise the need to find that place where one ‘feels at home’, and I continue to search for that place myself.
