Holding On: 
Identity Through Possesions





October 2022


Immigration is more than a journey across borders—it is a profound transformation marked by loss, insecurity, 
and the need to rebuild a sense of belonging. For many immigrants, objects—both from their homeland 
and newly acquired—become lifelines in this process. 

This photo book explores “immigrant clutter” as both an emotional anchor and a response to insecurity. 
Beyond keepsakes that connect them to the past, immigrants often accumulate things they now have access to,
 filling their spaces in an effort to regain a sense of control and stability.
