Carried Home

I imagined migration as the moment when a person must turn an entire world into luggage. The cracked body feels heavy and stone-like because leaving is never only movement. It is also pressure, rupture, and emotional weight. I placed a small house inside the suitcase because I wanted home to remain visibly present, not as property but as memory, family, language, and habit. The map behind the figure opens the destination outward, yet the real drama stays inward. Gaston Bachelard wrote that the house shelters daydreaming and memory. That idea guided me here. When someone migrates, they do not simply travel to another country. They carry a whole interior home across the world.
