Selected works from this series
A Street in Mostar | watercolour | 12.7 x 24 cm (2020)
In Transit (2020-21) is a series of watercolour and gouache paintings exploring the state of being perpetually in transit, and questions of belonging, home, and temporariness.
On the one hand, I’ve found that movement can offer an unmatched sense of freedom and a feeling of belonging that transcends sociocultural boundaries. On the other, it can sometimes lead to inhabiting a very different sort of reality, distinct from the worlds that one physically resides in.
At the heart of this series is the idea of home. Does ‘home’ have to do with relationships, history, time spent in a place, or is it the place that allows you to be yourself? To what extent does this influence your need to take flight and what are you hoping to find? What stories and places do we carry within us that are different from the external spaces that we inhabit?
