Discover the Meaning of Home
This project is a personal exploration of the concept of home. For many years, constant moving made it impossible for me to feel at home anywhere. I lost my sense of home for a long time. I began to wonder whether home could ever be a fixed location for me, or if it now lived only in fragments of memory and emotion. I curated a selection of texts in both English and Chi- nese that explore themes of longing, nostalgia, and displacement. The Émi- grée by Carol Rumens, 《想北平》 by 老舍, and Redefining “Home” — 8 New Meanings and the 1 That Matters Most by Melissa Brown each capture vivid yet unreachable versions of home. Their words resonated deeply with my own experience and helped me begin to rediscover what home means to me. The publication adopts a minimal color palette of black, green, and white. Green, for me, evokes a somber haze. The imagery is high-contrast and limit- ed to black and green, obscuring fine details to mimic how I remember plac- es I once called home: blurred and fragmented. My layout and typographic choices emphasize space, silence, and absence, reinforcing the sense of distance and disconnection.
