This multimedia piece delves into the concept of a person feeling like "home" and how this manifests in both romantic and platonic relationships. It examines the ways in which our connections with others serve as mirrors, reflecting aspects of who we are and shaping our understanding of ourselves.
The process itself carries symbolic weight: a blow torch was used to singe the canvas down to its frame, evoking the "burning desire" we feel for certain people—a passion that can just as easily scorch us in return. Embedded within the burn holes are mirrors, inviting the viewer to engage in deep self-reflection. These elements prompt introspection, posing questions such as: "Who feels like home to you?" and "How do my relationships with others reflect my relationship with myself?"
By combining tactile processes with metaphorical imagery, the piece encourages a thoughtful exploration of the interconnectedness between self-identity and the people who shape our emotional world.
