Between Home and Here | For every individual, there is a unique memory of home. While home for some can represent a place of safe haven, for others it may be reminiscent of turmoil. Between Home and Here provides insight into persistent states of confusion and guilt, which stem from a gradual increase in distance from family. Throughout this process, Between Home and Here examines the complications that arise out of distance from familiar places and people on ones’ developing psyche. Between Home and Here focuses on intimacy and human relationships that exist within conflict. This series conveys a collection of private stories from experience in dealing with love, loss, distance, and evolution.
