As part of the research on grief in domestic spaces, the paper The Body as the Home examines the emotional and psychological relationship between people and domestic space, on how it, like the body, carries its history in layers, marks of time, of care, of slow decay. 

Through reflections on the home of my grandparents, it traces how absence settles into the familiar, how memory clings to material and how the act of grieving alters the way one reads a space. One notices what remains is both living and not.
