For my first assignment, I decided to take a ‘warm’ approach to the “where I’m from” topic. I described through video, the warmth of my home on a rainy day. The rain dripping down the window symbolises the safety of home. I hoped to create a sense of security, much like how I personally feel being a home with a cup of tea on rainy day with my dogs. Home is where my heart is, much of why I added a video of an old photo album, in capturing my real home, which is wherever my family is.

My draft poem:

I am from a photo album

from weathered photgraphs and home cooked meals

I am from the overcrowded yet comforting sanctuary 

warm, welcoming and safe
