This body of work is not about discovering Tunisia — it is about coming home. At sixteen, I moved to Tunisia for a year-long student exchange, and in doing so, found a second family, a second language, and a second home. These images were all made within my host parents’ property and the surrounding neighbourhood of La Soukra; places deeply intertwined with memory, identity, and belonging.

Here, home is found in the small rituals of daily life: the call and cadence of prayer times, coffee at the café with Papa’s friends, roaming the farm with Mama beneath the Tunisian sun. This house, and the life lived within and around it, was filled with extraordinary warmth and generosity. Returning with a camera was not an act of documentation alone, but an act of gratitude, remembrance, and reconnection for those little moments, and an attempt to hold onto them.
