About the Artwork

Within uniformity, two houses dissolve into each other, their walls softening into thresholds of overlap. The work reflects on living between two homes across two countries, at once familiar and estranged. Boundaries blur, revealing porous spaces where one dwelling becomes another. Beneath identical skies, distance collapses as sameness intertwines with difference. Here, home is not fixed but fluid, an entanglement of memory, place, and longing, suspended between departure and return. The piece resonates with exhibitions on home, diaspora, space-making, and adaptation, offering a contemplative anchor in shifting landscapes.
