Place I always carry on

The central idea of this installation is to create a phantom space of a child’s room or a room of childhood memories—something universally familiar, yet deeply personal. A space where childhood memories do not turn into painful longing for a lost sense of permanence and security, but instead become a source of strength and confidence, found within rather than outside oneself. Since childhood is often considered a period of vulnerability and fragility, my project offers an opportunity for longing—for past times, for lost people, for home itself—to become a supportive force, creating an alternative universe in which perhaps none of us have ever actually left that home.
