The Cold Detachment of the Familiar (2014)
My work focuses on diaspora, capturing slow movements, in our fast-paced, ever changing globalised world. With our current transnational communities, multidimensional concepts such as home, identity and belonging are redefined to accompany multiple belongings.
This work focused on the lack of belonging. It explores, in the text and publication, the eerie detachment that takes place when one returns home after idolising it through memory. When the familiar loses its warms and comfort.
