My House has Tunnels


The photography series My House Has Tunnels emulates the time of expatriation as a liminal space. Each photo represents the quality of ambiguity or disorientation that occurs in the middle stage of a passage, when an exiled mind-body no longer holds their pre-status but has not yet begun the transition to the status they will hold when the new phase is complete. During a liminal stage, exiled bodies stand at the threshold between their previous mechanisms of structuring their identity, time, or community, and a new way to cope with furniture without memories.
