“No matter who we are or where we are from, we are connected by the constant quest for home, belonging and identity.”
Through street photography and impromptu interviews, strangers share how they found their identities, homes and “purpose” along the way. This project aims to explore the ways in which we search for, discover and connect to the sense of ‘home’ as individuals. It is my hope that this body of work will inspire and encourage anyone on their own quest for home and identity, especially in case they feel lost along the way.
