If belonging is a place, it is set within a dream, interrupted yet repeated as escaped fragments of my subconscious mind. I am fascinated by the interplay between place and identity and how it shapes our sense of self. In my exhibition, Elusive Dreams of Belonging, I explore this tension through a series of house-shaped configurations that evolved from the realm of my imagination. My houses are used as an observation that questions the significance of the concept ‘home is identity’ by exploring their tangibility within the context of dislocated identities.
The dislocated identities are not defined by conventional notions that one’s identity is solely determined by their home, instead, they highlight the complexity and fluidity of identity formation for those whose sense of self and place is constantly evolving. By challenging the predetermined nature of our identities, I seek to shift the intersections of the conventional notions of selfhood and contradictory processes that define ‘belonging’ and, consequently, ‘unbelonging’.
