What does it mean to \u201cown\u201d a space? Can we own spaces that are public, spaces that other people utilize as well? My project will look at how as a college student, I have made Bowdoin and Brunswick home and one of the spaces I have claimed ownership over public spaces. How do I see the use of \u201cmy\u201d space by other people, strangers\/other students\/etc.? Can home be a place I don\u2019t own, an object, other people? Do my body and the space it takes up create home and ownership? I want to see how body, space, and home intersect. The image is an interesting medium to explore these themes; can I capture these complex and moving concepts in a single frame or set of frames? In these images I want to see how light and time of day can impact the tone and meaning of the photographs. Thus far I have one space, a specific couch cushion in Little Dog Caf\u00e9, that I want to explore and photograph.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/health\/archive\/2011\/12\/the-psychology-of-home-why-where-you-live-means-so-much\/249800\/ Why home is important to us and how the concept of home is different throughout the world.
