This project explores carrying home through foam to rethink how garments can function as portable spaces that carry a sense of home. Inspired by my own experiences of moving and packing, and by the emotional bonds that connect family members across generations, I investigate how clothing can embody memory and belonging. Through wearable forms, I aim to create emotional security and a sense of home that can be carried with the body.
