This series reflects on home as a shifting space shaped by memory, care, and improvisation. Through ongoing processes and quiet gestures, it embraces imperfection and questions what it means to dwell, build, and belong.

This series explores the fragile, often invisible process of making a home—an act shaped as much by memory and emotion as by bricks and beams. Rooted in childhood recollections of his parents constructing the family house, and his current experience of shaping his own space, the artist reflects on how home is less a fixed place than an ever-changing negotiation. Rather than offering polished images of completion, the photographs dwell in the in-between: rooms half-built, corners full of intention, gestures of care and improvisation. Through these moments, the project reveals the quiet truths behind domestic life—its uncertainties, its hopes, its messiness. Here, truth is not singular or absolute. It is intimate, partial, and shifting—much like the idea of home itself. Through humor, vulnerability, and a gaze that blends observation and construction the work embraces imperfection and reconsider what it means to dwell, to build, and to belong.
