This installation expresses the concept of "home" in three distinct languages, reflecting the diverse meanings it holds for different people, especially immigrants and refugees who find themselves in a new land. It delves into the concept of home as a sanctuary—a safe space that is both physical and emotional. The materials used, such as Tyvek, steel mesh, and paint, are the very elements we use to build our homes, symbolizing the universal need for shelter and belonging.
