In the past few weeks I've found myself in kind of a loop, in terms of the exploration of my 'caves' theme.
 Indeed, I considered abandoning it completely but in the research and brainstorming of new ideas, I continued to be faced with the fascination of the physical space around me and the metaphors it entails.I begun to think about the components of that space which is around me. I thought about my own home, room, living space... I thought about how little material could be used to make a space more safe and homely to me.
 I began to look at different types of homes around the world - my fascination fixated on the small dwellings of the favelas and shanty towns in Rio de Janeiro, Mumbai and Johannesburg. The people of these communities make homes with the most materials, resources abd space that they can find. They fill this space with their dwelling/ manmade cave, and this becomes home.
