I want to go home
My project dissects my transition from the safety of home and my mother’s protection to relying on your own. I want to express how a childhood home eventually becomes somewhere you no longer belong and how it seems to leave you with an endless longing to feel at home this same way again. It also deals with the intricacies of a mother daughter relationship and how strong this connection can be. My work is so far inspired by the occasional yearning for a sheltered life under my mother’s wing when dealing with feeling lost and afraid in my own life.
As I move further and further away from this safety and into an uncertain future where I rely on nobody but myself I am dealing with a lot of fear and loneliness as I’m sure most people do at this stage of their lives. It also seems as I get older the time between the days me and my mother spend together seem to keep lengthening. I want to channel my feelings of love nostalgia and homesickness which are brought up by this transition into my project. In a nutshell my project is manifested by an everlasting yearning for the care of our maternal figures when they are no longer truly there.
