This photographic series explores the idea that housing is broken for many people in contemporary society. Using a toy dollhouse as a central symbol, the work examines themes of displacement, instability, and the search for belonging.
The recurring presence of shoes attached to or interacting with the miniature house suggests migration and constant movement. They evoke the experience of individuals and families who are unable to settle, who must repeatedly relocate, and who live without a lasting sense of security or home. The imagery reflects the emotional realities of housing insecurity, including uncertainty, impermanence, and the challenge of establishing roots.
Several photographs were created on location in urban environments dominated by high-rise residential and commercial buildings. These towering structures symbolize wealth, investment, and the financial barriers often associated with modern housing markets. Positioned against these powerful architectural backdrops, the damaged toy house becomes a visual contrast between economic prosperity and the fragile reality faced by many people struggling to access stable housing.
Through symbolism and juxtaposition, the series raises questions about affordability, inequality, migration, and the meaning of home in an increasingly complex housing landscape.
