Home Doesn't Let Go

Description

Home Doesn’t Let Go explores how home can be both comforting and difficult to leave behind. The house represents memories and emotions that continue to shape us, while the child and “other friend” reflect the feeling of being connected to those experiences. The cracks and broken drywall symbolize the struggle between wanting to move forward and still being held by the past.

Artist

I work mainly with charcoal on drywall to explore emotions, memories, and the unseen parts of ourselves. My artwork focuses on the connection between fear, comfort, loneliness, and protection, using figures to represent these feelings as a physical form.
