Temporary Home

Temporary Home is a photo zine about self-identity, home and loneliness. As one of many international students, I have moved to a foreign country to continue my life. 

Cramming into a small student ensuite, speaking a different language, trying to fit in and pretend to be used to it. I know I will leave this place one day in the future, this impression follows me wherever I go. When buying a Christmas tree, finding a job, or inviting my friends over the uncertainty haunts me. 

Since then it has become a habit for me to be ready to leave at any time. Packing, unpacking, packing, unpacking - I seemed to be repeating this behaviour constantly. Not knowing where it will take me eventually. I have moved from a temporary home to another.
