Why collage?
Collage reflects the fragmented nature of these alternative definitions of home (one’s that cannot be encapsulated in conventional, stable definitions of home). In its fragmentation, it also has the ability to weave together different temporalities, displaying the way definitions of home change over time and how ideas of home can combine features from separate times in one’s life. There is also a sense of play in collage which I think is important to facilitate and counteract some of the (at least for me) panic-inducing and existential questions about home.
