Home explores belonging and trying to find a sense of place. Throughout this project I started to question “what is home?” and what it means to belong somewhere. For me, I realised that it is not a house, a person or the place I was born. “Home” is a feeling, a warm, safe feeling. It is the places I go where I can be vulnerable and feel most free. Moving to Stranraer I never quite felt at home, I always had the intention to move back to my hometown of Milton Keynes because that is where I was born. So obviously that is where I belong, right? Wrong. Home is also a piece of work which focuses on letting go and saying goodbye. After going back to Milton Keynes, I began to realise that I only wanted to go back because of the happy childhood memories attached, so by destroying photographs of the place that I always thought I belonged, I can finally move on.
