The Living and the Longing

Abstract

My goal was to depict this eternally unanswered question of where and who I would be had I not moved to another country, starting my life from zero at thirteen. Immigration creates a sense of being in between spaces, longing for home but worrying you will no longer fit in there since moving away. It addresses the theme by speaking to the possibilities of not being split into a before and after version of yourself. I wanted to share what I think it would be like, a romanticisation of sorts of what I could muster of a home that I have grown so distant from, even when I hold it so close to my heart.
