This body of work provides an visual insight into the psychological landscape of individuals negotiating the complexities of moving and purchasing their first home. The images explore the paradoxical emotions that accompany this transition: a profound sense of privilege intertwined with an equally pervasive guilt for feeling overwhelmed by an opportunity many are denied. Simultaneously, the work conveys a subtle but persistent sense of loss, as once-familiar domestic spaces become emptied of their memories and reduced to rooms filled only with boxes and the confusion of departure. This visual stripping-back becomes a metaphor for the wider instability of the UK housing system, highlighting how increasingly alien it feels to the everyday person. Through its careful juxtaposition of pride, guilt, and mourning.
