“As an immigrant who spent a lifetime across three corners of the world in search of the perfect home, a walk down my memory lane is a path made up of scattered pieces of faces and places that I will never see again…

The golden ratio stands for perfection and growth, transitioning through colours of life, love, and loss.
In this path to home… is “home” the place where we find peace living at, or is it the place that is worth dying for, or is it simply a feeling that we yearn for?
Is there really a journey back home? Or have we grown and strayed away too far?
Chasing this feeling, spiralling away from breaking points, carrying pieces of places and faces we once called ours, only to realise that home was never a destination or a place.
And what is the point of the journey, if it leads us back to where we started? Can we even call it a journey at all?
Perhaps, home is the perfect ratio of this myriad of longing and belonging, growing apart while looking back, where the golden rules bleed onto us as we break apart?”
