Guided by Martin Heidegger’s (1889-1976) concept of “dwelling” presented in his essays “Building, Dwelling, Thinking” (1971), Dwelling explores the domestic environment as a means through which the identities of people and artworks are expressed. The relationship between human beings and their environments is frequently explored in phenomenology where the processes of finding, creating, and dwelling in spaces are seen as fundamental to our existence and the production of meaning. Amongst spaces that house us, the inhabiting of home is something that is both the most universal and the most intimate.
