Positioning Statement

Starting from my experience of constant moving, as well as the demolition of my childhood home, I am interested in the notion of home, memory and intimacy. I grew up very close to my twin sister and my mother, a rather collective experience of home and intimacy. Because of that I believe that collectively-by being together and working together- we can reconfigure home in ways we wouldn’t be able to individually.

There is a drastic loss of home, however, I believe even if lost, the physical and the non-physical space of it still interacts with people’s psyche. I feel there is an urgency to investigate home as a collective concept and wish for my practice and research if not to just raise awareness, to also create space for reconfiguring the ideas of home.

In my practice I use collectivity as a research methodology that translates into workshops of co- creation and sharing. I create environments with the use of painting, photography and video. Just as I engage in a dialogue with texts, I ‘argue’ with my materials; these negotiations are exactly what allow the work to unfold. Overall, I am working towards methods that allow to carry home within us, everywhere we go; Because to dwell means to be and to be means to dwell.
