BECOMING HOME; A project by Sergio Pontier and Seventh.
Sergio Pontier is a 23 year old Dominican-Spanish visual artist based in Spain. His Dominican side of the family lives on the island, a place he first began photographing in 2018, at the very beginning of his journey as a photographer. Eight years have passed since he last returned.
Seventh’s ethos is built around home, and capturing that idea from different perspectives. So Sergio and Seventh came together on something very personal to him. Shot and directed by Sergio, styled by Juanjose Mouko Nsue .
Even after eight years, the distance never erased his connection to the island. His memories of the country reach back to childhood, to the summers spent visiting family, the places he knew, and the experiences that became part of his earliest memories.
For Becoming Home, Sergio went back with a camera in hand, documenting it for the first time in years. Through family, friends, and locals, as well as the landscapes, textures, and everyday moments of the island, the project becomes a visual exploration of memory, belonging, and return. It asks what home means, where it lives, and whether it can still feel like home after years away.
Becoming Home also marks our Pre AW26 launch, the very first glimpse of the season, featuring the Denim OVL Jeans in Storm Wash.
Wearing Seventh Pre AW26 launching 8th September, Becoming Home reflects on the space between where you come from and who you become, and on the idea that home can exist not only in a place, but in the memories and experiences we carry with us.
Because sometimes, home is not simply the place you return to. It is the part of you that never really left.
