Throughout this project as well as struggling to juggle 3 different projects at the same time, I think I also struggled with engaging with the meaning behind it. I initially chose landscapes as my reference for the research project because I wanted to explore my view in what is ‘Home’ to me in terms of Landscape, I struggle to think that we are only allowed to feel at home in your house, as I believe that a location at a specific time or moment can feel like ‘home’. The feeling of home to me is a place that feels familiar and comforting. I have this feeling in my childhood home in Shropshire, the initial feeling when I moved to Brighton which disappeared after a few months. The feeling reappeared after saw the Seven Sisters when I moved away from Brighton with my partner. Place I’ve visited on holiday and I also have the feeling for a place I’ve never visited before. I constantly center my life around Japan, I consume it via Youtube Vloggers, My art and design, and even the place I work is inspired by Japanese Kawaii culture. Apart of myself feels at home in a place I’ve never visited which is something I wanted to explore in final Project but struggled to express in my research project.
