Antecedent Wayfinder

My practice investigates the concept of home, understood not as a fixed or singular entity but as a shifting condition shaped by memory, longing, and displacement. Home often emerges in subtle gestures and overlooked details: the fold of a tablecloth, the scent of wax, or the imperfect closure of a drawer. For those who are uprooted, exiled, or confined, home becomes a paradox: at once a source of orientation and a haunting absence. Through my work, I collect and assemble fragments that gesture toward this ambiguity. Found and discarded materials — scraps of paper, architectural remnants, small objects encountered in everyday movement — are reconfigured into drawings, objects, and installations. These are often layered with sound, extending the work into spaces of resonance and memory.

My installations occupy the threshold between belonging and not belonging. They examine the distance between idealised cultural images of home and the instability of lived experience. By engaging with material fragility and processes of accumulation, the work reflects on how meaning is inscribed in the spaces and objects that surround us, and how these, in turn, shape personal and collective identity.

Ultimately, the practice seeks to reconcile contradiction: the desire for stability with the inevitability of rupture, the familiarity of home with its potential for estrangement. The resulting works, whether installation, object, or gesture, offer moments of reflection in which fragments are temporarily gathered into something whole. They invite the possibility, however fleeting, of experiencing home, or at least the trace it leaves behind.
