The “The Echo of Home” project is my visual diary of longing for the lost home.
The idea for the project was born from deeply personal emotions that overwhelmed me during my time in emigration.
Loss of personal belonging, the unclear horizon of planning, and the “delayed life” syndrome have been part of my daily life for over two years, especially since my sense of direction and purpose started fading back in 2020.
The gap between the reality I faced and the idealized past I remembered led to a deep internal conflict and left me disillusioned with the places I once called home.
Photography became my way of exploring how each visit home felt more distant and unfamiliar, as if the once vivid and lively memories had frozen and fragmented into scattered pieces. I have been capturing fleeting moments and the bittersweet joy of revisiting places that once brought happiness. These images reflect not just physical spaces but also my inner transformation, how I experience the bittersweet beauty of the places I once called home or in places I had to live in temporarily.
The project will be finished when I once again feel “at home” in every sense of the word.
