What Is Home
The project is a retrospective and a self-reflection of the immigrant who is in a search of a concept that she can call home.
The project consists of a video and a series of self portraits by Daria Makurina.
For each of us the notion of “home” has a different meaning and value. For many it is their parents, family or the place where they grew up, but what if none of these are longer reachable? What is “home”?
“It is a very personal and emotional project to me. I can not return to my country of origin. My family is far away and our meetings are very much limited… I need to find my own “home”.
My husband has been my safe space for a long time.. a refuge where I could hide from everything. But that could not last forever. I need to find my own “home”.
There is a widespread belief that home is something physical - a place, a person, a house, but I realised that all of this has less of an importance.
The only thing that I will always have is me.

I want to thank my wonderful husband for his endless help in creating this project!
He, like me, has invested a huge part of himself in this project. This website, style, merch, help in shooting and editing, animation - he did it all in a very short time.
Denis, you are the best!
