Home is Here is a song told through the perspective of a wandering leaf in search of its home, a reflection on the delicate balance between creation and destruction in our changing climate. The song’s melody carries both the vitality of nature and the looming echoes of environmental loss, serving as a poignant reminder of our responsibility to protect our shared home. Through its immersive sounds and evocative lyrics, the piece calls for harmony between humanity and the rhythms of the Earth.
 
This multimedia collaboration weaves together music, movement, and imagery to explore the interconnectedness of all life. Beginning with an auditory journey that captures the essence of creation and destruction, Home Is Here evolved into a dynamic expression of sound and motion.
