The project “Emigration” tells the story of forced relocation caused by war. It reflects the challenges of adapting to a new life and the struggle to create a sense of home even in the most modest circumstances.
My personal experience became the foundation of this project. Together with my family, I was forced to move to another country. Our first shelter was a dormitory— one small room with a toilet and a sink. The shared kitchen and bathroom for all residents were difficult to use emotionally, so we adapted the toilet into a multifunctional space: a kitchen, a shower, and a restroom. We lived in these conditions for four months.
This period became a symbol of resilience, adaptability, and the fight for comfort, even in the toughest situations. The project captures this moment to tell a story not only about physical relocation but also about the emotional journey of a person striving to preserve themselves and their family in an environment of uncertainty and limitations.
“Emigration” is an attempt to showcase the reality of those who were forced to leave their homes and a reminder of the value of home, even in its simplest forms.
The project was created in 2024.
