My Way Home

I haven't had a place to call home so I started looking for one in any way I could.

The Porch

A porch is a welcoming liminal space. A place to wipe your feet off as you arrive. A place to pause and check your pockets as you leave. Most importantly, it is a place to linger. A porch is one of few transitory spaces that invites pause, thought, and preparation. A place to wait a moment longer before you have to go.

The Porch is a multimedia soundscape and motion design, created in collaboration, exploring ideas of transition, grief, and times that must inevitably come to an end.
