About This Project.
Home used to be Mexico, with my grandmother— until she passed.
Home used to be Utah, with my friends and family—until I moved.
Now, "home" doesn't feel like home anymore. My sense of home was lost.
I belonged nowhere and was left in solitude, consumed by nostalgia for what once was.
