A hermit crab’s shell home is a borrowed, empty shell of a sea snail, that is often swapped as they grow. Depending on its habitat, they can adapt into different shells or other hollow objects.

Hermit States is a project looking at travellers and those who live with the constant uncertainty of the future, battling with their tangled fragments of identity and belonging.  

This project aims to highlight the lives of those who find their sense of home in spaces that are not their own.
