Making Home: a place that lingers and yet dissolves explores longing and feeling out of place and their role in producing a sense of belonging. Through active listening, mapping, and exploring embodied memory, the project explores an intangible place that emerges from the emotional and experiential processes of inhabiting two places simultaneously—here and there.

Part I: in between homes lies unfamiliar waters delves into the absence of familiar sounds by observing and documenting movement patterns in the Baltic Sea, which still remains an unfamiliar body of water. These patterns represent the lack of comforting sounds and the presence of unfamiliar intensity contrasting with experiences of the Pacific Ocean. The resulting images facilitate the creation of sonic representations that reflect a distorted and distant memory of home.
Part II: does nostalgia have an echo?_ and how does it break apart? draws attention from a sonic perspective to how different aspects and temporalities of various locations intersect and produce an intangible place where a shifting sense of home is situated. The soundscape amplifies quiet sounds into resounding echoes, aiming to convey contrasting experiences in different spatial encounters along with generated sounds that capture the intensities and dynamics of longing.
