You’re finally home” explores the intersection of social media and internet trends, nostalgia, and dream core through the lens of liminality.
The essay revisits familiar childhood places, blending personal memories with found digital material, and enters the world of digital collective memory, shaped by TV, cinema, and the internet, or “third memory” as Bernard Stiegler describes it. It reflects on our relationships with both real and imagined places, and how we seek security and control through them. At the same time, it captures a sense of longing—an emotional pull towards what’s lost or distant—while exploring themes of alienation and the transient nature of memory, identity, and nostalgia in a world where everything feels both permanent and fleeting.
