One Home Only [Iterations]

One Home Only [Iterations] is a three-part, site-specific installation and performance series exploring the evolving concept of "home." Utilizing the exterior of a public building as both canvas and stage, the work integrates visual installations with live interventions to examine domesticity, tension, and spatial boundaries over the period of three weeks.

Part I: A spoken-word response to the internal contradictions of home, performed by the author.
Part II: A solo cello performance utilizing improvisation and silence to mirror the fragmentation of memory and place.
Part III: A movement-based activation of a fragmented visual landscape, where two dancers navigate the emotional and physical thresholds of shared space.
