The sculptures represent a house in transit, reflecting on the ability of spaces and objects sourced from different locations to morph into one body of home. As well as the ability of these solid sources to transition from one home body to another or be a piece of multiple. The installation archives a personal collection of home bodies collected in multiple places. Every time the installation is built down and reinstalled its construction is rearranged. Sculpting different settings by blending the figures in a different formation. Referring to how the setting of home changes during reinstallation but also merges with transported memories from the previous dwellings.
