Perteneser delves into the sense of belonging that arises from the place we call “home”. Emanating from within, the perception of home involves a process of self-discovery. The 2020 pandemic caught me far away from my country. It magnified my feelings of estrangement and made me wonder how I can eventually form part of a foreign place. Encountering the familiar within a confined domestic space allows me to coexist with this “greater whole” that surrounds me.  Building a sense of belonging, I fulfill my quest for self-exploration, while I literally make myself “fit” within the new home I have created for myself.
