This project began while I was studying in London, the first time I had lived outside Asia.
The project combines portraits, still lifes, and quiet scenes, shaped by my perspective as a Gen Z outsider.
I pay attention to cultural dissonance, longing for home, and the small ways relocation can change everyday habits and deeper patterns of thought. I often observe with a distance, resisting the pressure to blend in, yet my emotions still settle onto ordinary people, objects, and rooms.
This uneasy balance between detachment and attachment reflects a wider Gen Z experience of displacement in a globalised world.
The work returns to one question: where is home, and how do we miss it?
