Outgrowing Home
This series of works about home were created in 2019, and in 2020 they suddenly have revealed another layer of meaning. Initially this print was about the moment on one's life when their home becomes too small for them and have to break the shell, like a seed, to grow. Obviously the lockdown experience gave a different flavour to this work, as all of us at some point felt trapped and confined by our homes and wanted to break free.
This print is a 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?
