Home Sweet Home

One of my favorite bedtime stories from childhood, told by my mother, is about a little rabbit and her mother who promise that as long as they hold each other in their hearts, they will meet under the moon in their dreams. As I grew older and moved farther from home, the story became a quiet cure for my homesickness, a symbol of reunion and love.
I wanted to transform that inner emotional anchor into a physical space: a soft, dreamlike room filled with fur-covered furniture, creating warmth and belonging. A Polaroid “window” on the wall looks outward into my real life, while from the outside, this space reads as a fairy-tale home shared between my mother and me.
However, the use of “real” fur and the red mushroom elements act as warnings, reminding us that this is not the real world and that we cannot stay in the past forever. The photo wall narrates a story: the rabbit falls asleep, reunites with her mother, and wanders together into a surreal mushroomland. Like all dreams, it has no ending. The sequence ends abruptly, as if the dreamer has just awakened.
Everything in the room whispers the same truth: this space is tender and nostalgic, but also an illusion, a dream we can visit, but never live in.
