Boreham’s research explores how both intimate spaces like suburban homes, and vast, unexplained phenomena, such as UFO sightings, are deeply influenced by human narratives. Her work reveals how our perceptions and emotional connections shape the environments we inhabit — whether it’s the gradual transformation of her family home due to illness or the psychological impact of UFO encounters. In both, she examines how stories, memories, and personal experiences define our relationship with the spaces around us.
