I understand the concept of home as a ‘second skin’, a multi-sensory layer that is part of the body. It connects our inner selves with the outside world and extends our sense of touch beyond the physical body.
This piece emerged from a period of transition, moving between countries and trying to understand what makes a place feel like home. It led me to think about how we develop attachments to the spaces we inhabit, and how these spaces become part of our sense of self. I am interested in the ways we experience home through the body, and how our understanding of it changes through time and in relation to the space.
