Searching For Home
Exploring Identity, Displacement, and Spiritual Shelter
Searching For Home reflects on the meaning of belonging in the modern world. Increasingly, our identities are blurred, we explore new horizons and places to settle, in search of a place and state we can call home. It’s not just about the physical location but also the choice of vocation, the meaning to one’s life and the sense of belonging to certain communities and people.
