A postage stamp enables movement from one place to another, akin to a passport for people who migrate. But what does it mean to leave one’s home and move to a place that neglects them, and who bears responsibility for packages that never find their way home?

A home is not a house. This work tests and investigates what ‘home’ means in relation to those who were once forced to leave theirs. With a poetic touch, this is a timely, relevant, and conceptually strong project in which a postage stamp becomes a carrier of dreams, longings, and transitions.
