Objects of Comfort: Reflection on Student Home-Making takes a look behind the closed doors of student accommodations. Looking at the intersection of home-making and mobilities, this series works to deduce the transitional process through portable belongings. This project slowly excavates the intimate bonds between things and their owner in terms of place-making practices. The ethnographic encounters take fragmented narratives from mnemonic objects and help construct the presences of various homes into one small room. Exploring how each thing evolves with the students' journey, Objects of Comfort works to understand the bond of familiarity between object and owner within a private space.
