This project is about the home where Sara grew up, a place where strangeness and the familiarity of the ordinary existed alongside. Being an intimate space, it should have been nurturing and reassuring. And yet, it was the scene of painful scenes.
Today, she sees this space as threatening. Uncomfortable, dysfunctional, her home is the witness to scars from the past.
In Sara's photographs, she revisits her memories and reclaims the power over her own body. Her tiny models express the identity of a young girl under construction, growing up with imbalance and wounds. Deconstructing, reconstructing, objects become bodies, bodies become objects: she feels deformed and petrified.
A Home with no Roof creates an antagonistic tension between seductive aesthetics and disquieting details. Miniatures enable her to regain control, distancing herself from the past and releasing new strengths to properly become an adult.
