Domestic spaces can evoke solitude and quiet contentment, but also unease, longing, and distance. My personal experiences associate suburban neighborhoods with symbols of family and stability, yet also reveal a sense of isolation and fragility. This painting captures a row of houses and their occupants asleep, and acts as a metaphor for that sense of isolation. My idea of home is layered with emotional dissonance that mirrors my evolving relationship with belonging, and reflects the blurred boundaries between lived experience and recollection. Through shifting foliage, delicate stars, and the stillness of twilight, I aim to capture a quiet mystery where the ordinary becomes something magical. My work reveals unique associations tied to the environments we currently inhabit or remember from the past. I create visual spaces where viewers can encounter both familiarity and strangeness-bringing their own memories, longings, and sense of place into dialogue with the work.
