STC: Journey Home (2010)

The Journey Home is a metaphor of the teenager’s pursuit for something real in life. The “home” is a personal space – a physical location that satisfies primitive needs for food, water, and shelter. According to Wikipedia, “home” can also represent an emotional state of refuge or comfort. Either way, “home” is a place of belonging and identity – which are things, as teenagers, we yearn to find. No matter where you are in life – whether you’re on a mission to continually enlarge your every growing deck of Pokémon cards, or you are silently pondering whether you will ever be loved by somebody – we’re looking for something that is true. In the process, we stumble and navigate through our emotional life to find something that resonates with who we are – this is the journey home.
