home
Astrid Knox-McConnell

Home is complicated. To some people it means safety, comfort, love – to others it means the
opposite. As someone who has called a number of different places home, I wanted to explore
what this concept means to different people, including myself. I hope it can give us a better
understanding of what many homes can mean.
