The Non-Geographic Home is presented as a layered publication — a tactile archive that reconstructs belonging through memory, material, and design. Rather than functioning as a conventional book, it operates as a processual artefact — one that holds traces of walking, drawing, interviewing, and remembering. Its structure is composed of translucent and opaque pages that interleave narrative fragments with visual documentation. Through tracing paper, halftone printing, and modular inserts, the publication materialises the project’s key question:How can defamiliarised visual narratives evoke a sense of “home” that is emotional rather than geographic?The work invites readers to experience the fragility and persistence of memory — pages overlap like recollections, texts fade into images, and the act of turning becomes a gesture of rediscovery. Ultimately, it embodies the idea that “home” exists not in a fixed location but in the continuous process of perceiving, remembering, and connecting.
