Abstract. To free ourselves from the confinement of home, the artist proposes a journey of forgetting the limiting meaning of home. The journey starts with testing the elasticities of letterforms and signs, breaking them beyond legibility, while exploring spectrums between word and image, until it reaches the territories of asemiosis. Once freed from meaning, the search continues along the threads of asemic writing triggering questions and affects. A step deeper along the meaningless but remarkable traces takes the artist into nature, where she realizes that the escape from home has taken her back home, the original home.
