No Longer Home is a body of work centering around the power dynamic and violence behind it. The work encompasses three staged photographs and an installation. Chan started the project after a long process of precipitation from July 2020. Photographing himself, he is the only participant inside these photos to illustrate that everyone can both be dominant and submissive. In rethinking the similar power dynamic of BDSM, he uses eroticism to convey violence and power dynamics in alternative situations.
