The Language of Movement
This project explores how ideas of “home” mean for multinational individuals living in Melbourne. While the exterior houses often reflect a recognisably Australian aesthetic, the interior world like objects and memories that reveals deeply personal cultural identities. The project responds to the cultural invisibility of the emotional and symbolic parts of “home” that migrants are rarely represented in public space. Through interviews and visual documentation, the project translates personal memories into a shared visual narrations, using graphic systems to make hidden stories visible in public space.
