Part of Hybrid Realities :Lab 2 (Lab → Output)

Home is where your loss is presents a spatial environment organised around six houses and two orbs arranged in a large circular formation.
Visitors move through a landscape shaped by glacial structures that act as both barriers and navigational cues. The environment encourages slow exploration, asking participants to orient themselves through movement rather than direct instruction.
The title suggests a reversal of familiar associations with home as a place of stability or belonging. Instead, the space evokes the fragile and shifting nature of memory - where the idea of home is inseparable from absence, displacement or transformation.
Navigation itself becomes part of the work’s conceptual structure. The environment offers only minimal guidance:
If you get lost,
try to walk between the glaciers,
not through them.
Through this subtle instruction, the work frames wandering, uncertainty and disorientation as integral aspects of encountering the space.
