Immediately I can identify with the images of your room and the images of your stuffed animal because my room at my actually house is completely filled with stuffed animals as well. What I noticed in the image with all of the furry companions was that I too had a Stitch but I also was reminded of all the sets of eyes they possess and how in my room there always seems to be eyes looking at me. In the same image I noted all the eyes that seemed to be staring at me. Stuffed animals were an important staple in my childhood and they hold a significance to me that I cannot readily explain, although I did not feature them in my video they are what "home" means to me. The second image I could relate to was the snapshot of what I am assuming to be your dorm room. I am a first year college student but since I have been here I feel strongly that my college is my home and that my roommates are a family to me. I am fortunate enough to live with the people I enjoy living with so coming "home" to my dorm room I feel the safety and security usually synonymous with typical descriptions of home. The dorm room is somewhere you can eat, sleep, study, relax and even take a quite refugee, all the more reason it is home for me. One thing I really enjoyed about your video project was that you incorporated food and candies that you enjoyed as represented what home is to you. I thought it was very clever because I did not even consider that portion of what home can always mean. Looking at it now that would make perfect sense! All in all, I loved the variety in your images and representations of "home".
