My current project investigates the interplay between personal, community, and environmental wellbeing through the lens of older adults' domestic and digital lives. Combining in-situ, digital, and graphic ethnography with participatory research, I am examining how older adults in Finland, the 'happiest country in the world', navigate ageing amidst digitalisation and environmental change.

Wellbeing is increasingly recognised as a multidimensional concept, connecting individual experiences to broader community and environmental health. As ageing populations rise, governments promote digital solutions and 'ageing in place' (remaining in the home as long as possible) in 'age friendly' settings, yet the complex interplay between digital technologies, physical spaces, and the diverse meanings of wellbeing among older adults remains under-explored. Through participatory and artistic methods, I seek to uncover ways to design domestic and community spaces that enhance both human and environmental wellbeing.

Through ethnography in people's homes and community spaces, I am investigating how environmental changes influence domestic routines and digital practices, and vice versa. This research positions ageing in place within the broader context of environmental resilience, asking how digital technologies and domestic spaces can be reimagined to foster sustainability.

The project will result in an exhibition and illustrated book featuring visual material co-produced with research collaborators.
