Collection: (Works in Progress) Almost Home

Home is not just a place—it is a feeling, a memory, and a shifting landscape of belonging. In my series Almost Home, I explore the fluidity of identity and the evolving concept of home through the language of landscape painting. These works blend direct documentation of real places with the ephemeral nature of recollection, incorporating fragments of fading memories, sensory impressions, and imaginative reinterpretations. In an increasingly mobile and interconnected world, the notion of home is more transient than ever. The landscapes in Almost Home reflect this duality—both familiar and ambiguous, tangible yet dreamlike. By layering textures, colors, and expressive brushwork, I seek to capture the essence of a place that is both deeply personal and universally resonant. These paintings invite viewers to reflect on their own experiences of belonging, displacement, and nostalgia. Through this series, I aim to create visual spaces that exist between reality and memory—landscapes that feel lived in but remain elusive, reminding us that home is not always a fixed point on a map, but rather a state of being shaped by time, experience, and emotion.
