A home is often seen as a comforting place but sometimes elements beyond our control force us to leave, for better or worse. The space you leave behind is often not the same as it was when you first entered. It evolves through its shared experience with us. And while we hear much about the human impact of the space we inhabit, the truth is our environment also shapes us just as much. With the following films, we invite you to explore your relationship with the spaces you occupy – past, present, and future.
