How to Make a Home

Owning a home has become increasingly unattainable for present and future generations. As ownership recedes, home shifts from lived reality into a projection sustained through longing. Through my work, I explore the relationship between the idea of home and the social drive for construction and ownership. New housing developments act as symbols of progress, yet they conceal a tension of exclusion, remaining out of reach for many. This contradiction grounds my research.

I am not concerned with architecture as physical structure, but with home as an emotional and cultural construct. The traditional notion of home as a site of stability no longer holds. It persists instead through images and nostalgia that compensate for a lost sense of permanence. Home appears as a projection—a symbol of an impossible return sustained by longing.
