Places
and Human Connection
Zhen Feng Ang
A memorable place that hides deep in the human brain.
Human Research Report
Individuals sometimes recall the memories of school that they never visit after graduating, laughing at the memories of them secretly doodling on the wall with their friends.
Some miss their grandparents old house that they use to hangout at with family. They might cry when they remember these things.
Reason: unknown
..............................................
Assumption:
The connection between humans and places is stronger than they thought...
lockdown situation
Some places they often go could be missed.
Example: the café where they sat all-day chitchatting with friends, the cinema where they threw popcorn at each other.
Some humans just don't want to watch a movie at home by themselves.
Conclusion:
Humans only miss what they've lost.....

Our live zoom stories on
Places
The introduction began with a story by myself.
It was followed by a story by Cindy about missing her hometown, a story by SBK about a specific place that he feels connected to, and a discussions about what brings us back to places we’ve been and how they’ve changed.
Stories of
Places
A collection of stories linking human connection and places.
The idea of ‘place’ immediately makes me think of the spaces I inhabited in my past.
Spaces from my childhood – the houses I used to live in, the park, the high street, my Nan’s garden.
I then think about how those spaces have changed over time and how I have changed too. The idea becomes
somewhat more grandiose, as I begin to reflect on how my world has grown as I have grown.
Cities and countries that were once exotic and almost beyond imagination have since been explored,
roads have been driven, seas have been swam in. The people that still inhabit the place I grew up in
seem small and distant as the boundaries of my internal map expand ever outward to include my new place.
This map in my head is three dimensional, the spaces of my past are behind and below me as I move slowly up and out
towards the edges. I occasionally have cause to visit these spaces I remember,
but now they seem grey, empty and small. They no longer exist as I remember them, but this doesn’t discomfort me.
The old spaces may have changed, but I have also changed and my new place is full of colour.
