Home

Home is not a place.
It lives between the body and the world around it.

All my life, home has been in motion. Living abroad for many years, moving from one place to another more times than I can recall, it slowly became something I carry within me. Not being able to return to my homeland
does not create distance…it brings it closer. More present. More layered.

A quiet contradiction I live with.

In this series, I explore this feeling step by step following it as it slowly reveals itself on the canvas. These works move in the space where inside and outside meet in light, in stillness, in the surface of the skin. Home is not something fixed. It is something you return to.

Where is home? A country, a house, a piece of soil? Is it something we possess or something we carry beneath the skin?


where i begin

here
at the edge of my skin
the world ends

and i begin

not with my name
not with my story

but here

where i touch
myself
for the first time


where i belong

i searched for home
in arms
in rooms
in eyes that saw me

until i stood still

and heard

here

this is where i live

where i feel

don’t touch me
to hold me

touch me
so i know

i am here

because beneath this skin
lives everything

i cannot say


where i glow

i don’t need
to stand in the light

it is already in me

beneath my skin
behind my ribs

something refuses
to go dark

look

i glow


where i return

i went far
to find myselfopened doors
left bodies
believed in other worlds

and still

every road
leads me back

to here

to this body

my first home
my final home
