‘Finding Home Away From Home'
The project consists of three stories, from three migrants, exploring where they feel most at home and how migration has shaped that. Despite drawing from my own experiences as a minority, personal interests and academic study in migration, the project is very much guided by the semi-structured interviews and subsequent collaborative photography conducted with each individual. In this way, each story can be told as and how each person shared it, with the aim to amplify the human voice that can be lost in politics.
