I had the opportunity to travel to The Hague for a project week at the Royal Academy of Art (KABK), where I exhibited my work Sâ in a group exhibition with other students from MOME. It was an inspiring experience and a great opportunity to complete my project, thanks to

âS
The project explores the emotional, spatial, and narrative layers of the feeling of âhome.â It
examines how safety, intimacy, and belonging are built, dismantled, and reimagined through
personal memories and shared experiences. Based on a standardized set of questions
about home, the work developed as a co-production with the participants, whose stories
form the foundation of the process.
Drawing on ideas of naive and childlike architecture, the project reinterprets each
participantâs responses through my own imagination. I recreate their sense of home,
translating emotional impressions into spatial and visual form. Home here is not a fixed
location, but an inner, emotional landscape shaped by language, time, solitude, and the
desire for connection. In this way, the work becomes a collective yet deeply personal
exploration of how we build, lose, and reimagine what we call home.
Bogiâs Home
Bogi said, âMy room is the space where I can create a sense of security.â
I immediately thought of how solitude can become both shelter and
boundary. Her words about the smells, the light, all describe a home
built from the control of who enters â from self-protection. Throughout
our conversation, Bogi returned to the idea of reflection not only
words, but a luminous mirror only opens to those who respect silence.
âHome means Iâm with myself.â
