Slowly panning across a digitally constructed arrangement of house facades, this video journeys along a dislocated street, removed from any context, yet still conjuring a sense of place. It contemplates the Welsh word Hiraeth which relates to a feeling of longing or yearning, often towards a homeland, real or imagined.
