A House for Missing You
Jiaying Kang
A House for Missing You is an interactive installation about missing the everyday companionship and touch of a beloved pet. It began with my own experience of losing my dog and missing the small gestures that once filled our days. A fabric-covered house offers a quiet space to pause and remember. Inside, visitors can hold a soft object that glows gently in response to touch, its light fading when released, making the gesture visible. They can also write their pet’s name and a personal message on a small memorial card, then take it home or leave it in the house. The project invites people to spend time with their memories, with no expectation of feeling better or saying goodbye.
