This project reflects on the housing crisis and its impact on our sense of home. The scene is composed of paper replicas of houses I once called home. The fragile paper architecture reflects the instability of contemporary housing and how elusive the idea of home has become for many people of my ⁠generation. Part 2 of 'Home, Unfolding' also looks at the experience of living abroad and the feeling of being uprooted. Moving between countries can create a sense of distance from both the place we come from and the place we live in. Alongside the wider uncertainty of housing today, this experience raises questions about what it means to have a place to call home. The painting moves between belonging and alienation, tracing a search for shelter, security, and a place to land.

In this new body of work, I introduce paper stop-motion characters. Sharing the same fragile materiality as the architectural models, they embody vulnerability, solitude, and introspection. Creating these figures led me into a new way of working: I model them digitally, generate UV texture maps, and translate these into printable paper templates that are folded into physical objects. They become part of a chain of translations: from digital model to paper sculpture, and ultimately to oil painting.
