My recent body of work, You Can Never Go Home, is an exploration of past places and current worry. These pieces revisit the past—exploring memory, wandering illogically through childhood homes and old apartments, focusing on vignettes of objects and moments of significance. This homage to prior safe spaces is a step toward letting go, confronting anxiety, and being present.”
