SOLASTALGIA

A short interactive visual poem about loss, longing, and dislocation

The word solastalgia was coined by philosopher Glenn Albrecht in his 2003 paper Solastalgia: A new concept in human health and identity. It describes it as the pain experienced when there is recognition that the place where one resides and that one loves is under immediate assault. It is manifest in an attack on one’s sense of place, in the erosion of the sense of belonging to a particular place and a feeling of distress about its transformation.

Enjoy. Would love hear impressions and see playthroughs.

Have a nice day.
