The in-between: Home for an ex-immigrant
When we immigrate to another country, in search of better living conditions, the journey is not an easy one, it is very difficult to be in a new country, with a new culture, new people, far from all your family and friends.
So, even having managed to have a better quality of life, I still felt that I didn't really belong there, and I had to return to my country of origin, not only for this reason, but to be closer to my grandparents, who are sick.
Having lived new experiences in another country, I ended up feeling that I no longer fit in here either, so I ended up learning that home is actually family, it's coziness, where memories live, it's the place that made who we really are.
That's why I say that I'm in the in-between, where I feel that I no longer belong to any physical place in the world, but rather, in the real meaning of home now for me.

First, my idea was to really transform the concept of feeling "not belonging" in any physical place in the world anymore, into an image that really demonstrates this.
So I thought of these two geometries with classic "house" shapes, one upside down and the other from the common position upwards, representing the places in the world I've lived. At no time do these geometries touch the ground, precisely to give the feeling of not belonging.
But there is an axis that connects everything, and it means the balance of life, love, warmth, which connects and structures everything.
