Home-in-Waiting
This photographic series explores the emotional landscape of homes in transition—some on the verge of abandonment as their occupants prepare to leave, while others stand vacant, waiting to be filled with new lives and stories. Over the past two years, I have documented these "homes in waiting," capturing the quiet, intimate moments that echo the traces of lives once lived within their walls.
The act of moving is more than just a physical relocation; it is an emotional journey, intertwined with feelings of loss, grief, and the longing for familiarity. This body of work reflects my personal experience of migration and the complex emotions tied to leaving behind my home and familiar places.
Photographing these spaces has been a meditative practice, helping me process the grief and disorientation of transition while confronting the ongoing challenge of redefining 'home' in unknown and unfamiliar landscapes. Through this photographic exploration, I invite viewers to engage with these liminal spaces and reflect on their own personal narratives of movement, loss, and the enduring search for belonging.
