Artist Statement

"Process of Searching I, a monochrome work in acrylic and alcohol ink on canvas, visually interprets "Homeland" through the lens of personal evolution. Its textured landscape encompasses a horizon and water, bathed in reflective light, suggesting a realm of possibilities. The painting captures the fluidity of early identity, mirroring the transition from liquid to solid. It represents our journey of self-discovery and the varied paths towards understanding who we are - our 'home' within. Its ambiguity invites multiple interpretations, as our perception of 'home' is as diverse as the viewers themselves.”
