from january to june 2023, i chose to live without my own house
in the city of eindhoven, on a quest to find more connected ways of living. 
by deliberately choosing to be houseless, I explored alternative ways of living that depend on a stronger connection to community, nature & the self. this process relied on thorough self-observation and documentation, leading to a re-evaluation of existing social and personal structures.



I share the story in an intimate installation, built with the traces of experience gathered throughout my journey. Including tapestry, blankets, film, drawings and photography. In sharing in this way, I am welcoming visitors into my home. The room is tied together with a small seating area, in which I invite conversation. The intimate presentation prompts personal and meaningful conversations, allowing visitors to feel comfortable discussing their relationships to home, presence and uncertainty. The aim of this project is to spark a conversation, reflect on needs, face discomfort, and explore the question, Where is Home?
   




   



Home is Here: An embroidered tapestry of everywhere I slept when houseless.

Series of Blankets serving as Portable Homes, mimicking the nest I built each night.
Sewn using the clothes I wore throughout the experience.The series represent the core pillars I seek: Connection to Self, Connection to Community and Connection to Nature.
