This wall projection intertwines shadows and memories, conveying both the space of home and the ache of distance. Light and darkness move across the surface, revealing the textures and depths of remembered spaces. The work is a visual meditation on presence and absence, where memory and the feeling of home emerge through shifting light and shadow.
