What Becomes Home
A G.L.U.E. Installation

What Becomes Home is a visual meditation on the concept of “home.” Spaces, places and people inform our perception of what becomes home. A place where one feels safe, feels at home. A place from which one’s strength of character is drawn, a place of making and doing, of memories, and loving feelings, the sensory experience of place, the smells, tastes.... that collectively tell us we’re home.
As long as we move away from home— because of economics, war, colonialism, or simply by choice—the strategies we possess to make and rede ne home are imperative to our survival and vital in the shaping of our very identities.
