Being Home,
Black and White Digital Photographic Series, 2021

Being Home is a photographic series that explores the intimate realities of life in a home shaped by elderly care and chronic illness. By transforming everyday objects and physical aids into X-ray images, the series reveals what is usually hidden—both the inner workings of objects and the invisible labor of caregiving.

These aids—hoists, supports, and mobility tools—are vital extensions of the body, integral to daily life but rarely visible outside the private sphere. Through the lens of X-ray photography, they become ghostly portraits, standing in for the bodies they once served and the relationships they facilitated. Each image blurs the line between object and body, presence and absence, highlighting how these aids embody both care and memory within the home.

Being Home, X-ray Edition invites viewers to reflect on the unseen architecture of support that shapes the lives of carers and those they care for, turning the tools of daily living into documents of intimacy, resilience, and loss.
