What’s in a number? For some, it’s just a numerical designation, a mere marker on a map. For others, it’s a symbol of belonging.
16 C explores what makes a house a home. It holds the key to the house’s roots and history, to the relationships being formed within, and the emotional sensory experiences that add to the layers of life.
16 C pays homage to the complex beauty of family dynamics, and the multitude of experiences and connections that shape and colour one’s life. It celebrates the joys of growing up in a home where the doors always stood open.

But also, the bittersweetness of growing up that moulds you into who you become; occasional disputes and hardships are all part of it.
It reflects the idea of family time around the dinner table, in company of an olfactive melody of spices, and the recalling of pleasant gatherings with a deck of cards, a strong reminiscence for Jenny Larsdotter Olsson.
How the evening sun shone through the kitchen window casting long shadows across the floor before it eventually would dip below the neighbour’s rooftop.
It was only as an adult that she was able to put the memories of her parental home into perspective. A home with its myriads of moments, from joyous laughter to quiet contemplation, from family gatherings to solitary reflections, all coming together to form the foundation of one’s identity and sense of belonging.
