Artist Statement
I am home. Traveling through the labyrinth within my mind; a haunted house full of whispers and shadows. I am home. Long corridors and locked doors. Crawl spaces created by the things I wish I could forget. I am home. Curtains with no windows behind them, a phone with no receiving end, doors that lead to nowhere. I am home. Father. Mother. Sister. I am home. I am home.
What is home? A place, a person, a feeling? Our consciousness is our home, and our memories are the rooms within it. My work revisits domestic spaces and symbols of the home through my own retrospection.
