I find “home” in many instances - experiences, interactions, jokes, sounds, smells, songs. Throughout my design and reflection process, I delved deeper. My exploration pivoted more than half of the way through from representing the tangible with the intangible, things that make me feel at home with some "resonance" that has allowed me to feel at home and participate in the act of making a “home”, the act of becoming. It’s a gratitude for the freedom and sentiments I’ve now been offered to explore what my own “home” is vs. what it used to be for Hispanic women in my family, culture and, truly, women at large.

In this project, I explore my idea of “home” by encoding intergenerational reflections into a woven structure where binary data determines the weave pattern into a textile touchless electronic instrument (theremin).
