Place of home
2013-2014
Place of Home explores the intimate relationship between Estonian people, their domestic environments, and the layered histories embedded within them.
Estonia, occupied by the Soviet Union for nearly fifty years, regained independence in 1991 and later joined the European Union in 2004. While the country has moved forward politically and socially, traces of its past remain present in everyday spaces.
Between autumn 2013 and spring 2014, I visited homes across Estonia, photographing interiors and the views framed by their windows. The changing seasons visible outside mirror quieter transformations within — suggesting both personal continuity and the slow, ongoing process of social change.
