Home, Sweet Home.

Everybody can think of something that reminds them of home. Perhaps, it’s the smell of freshly baked bread in the kitchen. Or, it could be the jovial greeting from a furry friend as you walk through the front door. This week, our photography team compiled a series of photographs that encapsulate the essence of our respective homes.

A photo of a mother and her child. Though this is a picture taken of two strangers, this photo evokes a sense of nostalgia in me. It acts as a reminder of my childhood and of the times my mother used to take me to the beach during holidays. Those memories are where my sense of home comes from. Photographer: Zahra Jardine
