Place of home
2013-2014
Place of Home explores the intimate relationship between Estonian people, their domestic environments, and the layered histories that shape them.
Estonia, occupied by the Soviet Union for nearly 50 years, regained independence in 1991 and later joined the European Union in 2004. While the nation has moved forward, traces of its past remain embedded in everyday spaces.
Between autumn 2013 and spring 2014, I visited homes across Estonia, photographing interiors and the views framed by their windows. The shifting seasons visible outside mirrored the quiet transformations within — reminders of both personal continuity and broader social change.
