Throughout history, people have had to leave where they are for many reasons. The effect of this separation on the need for belonging and space is visibly significant. It is possible to see the effects of social hierarchy in the modern age. All over the world, hierarchy, which is a form of classification, aims to provide order and harmony in society. The hierarchical structure, which takes the responsibilities of the members of the society and creates harmony, has been corrupted today; It has led to the damage of concepts such as borders, immigration, refugee, identity, and belonging. The border is the distinction that determines the geographical endpoints of the two countries. The importance of physical boundaries hindered the development of a sense of belonging when it overcame human feelings. In the thesis, how physical borders affect human states, what belonging is, how migration and nomadism are handled by artists in the modern age are examined.

As a result of the inquiries made on the concept of belonging, both applied and literary studies on the boundaries were examined.
