You may answer any questions you feel comfortable with.

1. What year did you purchase your home, and what first drew you to it?

2. Before moving in, what was your connection to this city? What did you know or feel about the house and the neighborhood?

3. What do you remember about Breathing Lights, if anything, when the installation was happening? (Or when you later learned your home was part of it.)

4. What has it been like to transform this building into your home? How much of the renovation process did you take on personally, and how long did it take?

5. How does living in this home shape your relationship to the neighborhood or city today?

6. Can you share a bit about your path to homeownership? Was this your first home, or part of a longer journey? What does homeownership here mean to you personally?

7. Is there something about your home’s story that you think is important for others to understand?

8. What kinds of financial support, if any, helped make the renovation possible (such as grants, loans, or assistance programs)? How did you learn about those resources? Were there any that proved especially helpful — or difficult to navigate?

9. May we contact you to learn more about your story?
