This piece is about the feeling of being displaced, of searching for a place to belong, while also realizing that you’ve outgrown where you started. The melting house represents the loss of something familiar, something that can never be fully returned to. It’s about change, and how what once felt like home starts to slip away. The idea of hiraeth (a Welsh word that means a deep longing for a place or time that no longer exists) captures this feeling perfectly. It’s the kind of homesickness you feel for something that was never quite real, or something you can never go back to. It’s both a personal and universal experience of wanting to return to something that’s lost, or perhaps never really there in the first place. It’s about trying to hold onto a home that’s disappearing, and coming to terms with the fact that it’s no longer what it once was.
