Leaving Home
A brave girl on a tiny sailboat, leaving home and sailing the stormy sea with a big black dog to meet the unknown.
These series were created in 2019, but in 2020 they have opened up another layer of meaning. For many Home became a confinement rather than a safe haven, and lots of people can relate to a desire to leave home and go for an adventure.

Part of the solo exhibition 'I am Home", curated by Atelier 3I3, Porto, Portugal, 2019
These works are based on the themes of ‘Home’ and ‘Identity’ as well as the intersection and crossover between them. The project also includes a zine ‘Home’ and a mini zine ‘I Am’ created in collaboration with (and by invitation of) Atelier 3 I 3, Porto, Portugal.
What is home?
At first we don’t realise that we have a ‘home’. We are one with the world. Then we outgrow home, we leave home... or we lose home. We miss home. We seek home. We build home. We find a home in another. We become a home to another.
We return home.
We are home.
Is it a place? Is it a thing? Is it outside? Is it within?
Inside of what?
Outside of what?
Am I a home?
What is home?
Who am I?
