Home is more than an address. It’s memory, texture, heritage, and the shorthand between people who know each other’s history without having to ask. But this year, home has been unsettled for millions– lost to conflict, reshaped by politics, or transformed into something entirely unfamiliar. Even as we move through the world, seeking beauty, inspiration, or rest, we’re reminded that travel is an act of entering someone else’s home. To walk a new street for the first time is to step into another community’s everyday life.

In this new collection of stories, we are reminded to hold the idea of home with care: it’s never abstract, never neutral. It is lived in, fought for, and fiercely loved. And wherever we go, we are guests.

Interior. With Piano and Woman in Black. Strandgade 30, Vilhelm Hammershøi, (1864-1916)

Gallery: Justin Paik Reese, Ceramicist

Blending Korean heritage, Midwestern decay, and the color language of 90s pop culture, the Philadelphia artist creates vessels that act as time capsules for the worlds that shaped him.

From the industrial "Gothic blight" of Ohio to the ancestral silhouettes of Korean pottery, Justin Paik Reese transforms clay into vibrant time capsules of mixed-heritage identity. This profile explores how the Philadelphia artist fuses 90s pop-culture nostalgia with architectural decay to create ceramic "guardians" that stand at the intersection of history and play.

For designer Rakan Shams Aldeen, home is an internal sanctuary built from memory, light, and fabric. We sit down with the Dubai-based creative to discuss his transition from architecture to avant-garde fashion and his commitment to a "slower evolution" in an industry increasingly dominated by spectacle over substance.
