Home  

(a project in progress)



What comes to your mind when you hear the word "HOME"?

Maybe it’s the place where you spent your childhood. Or the one you created when you started living on your own. The place you return to every day after work.

But what truly makes a place a home? Is it the walls, the people, the memories—or something deeper?

This project is my attempt to understand what "home" has meant to me at different stages of life. It’s a visual exploration of my journey, my spaces, my emotions. Where did I feel at home? When did I lose that feeling? How has my perception of home changed over time?

I moved a lot as a child. Almost every year, my "home" changed—new streets, new rooms, new people. Then came adulthood, marriage—another "home." In 2022, I had to move to another country. Now, three years later, my children speak a different language, they have integrated, and they feel "at home" in this new environment. For them, this process is natural—they simply grow, adapt, absorb everything around them.

Looking back, I see how my connection to places has shifted. I feel how time and experience have reshaped my idea of home. This project is not just about photographing spaces—it’s an attempt to capture inner states through images: attachment, loss, searching, acceptance.



Now, I realize that home is within me. No matter where I go, I carry it inside. We cannot escape ourselves. Our roots are within us, growing into an inner tree that adapts to the world around it.

This project is about change, memory, and the traces that time leaves behind. About how we search for, lose, and rediscover home within ourselves.

The root is inside each of us.
