Road Home
This series of abstract watercolor landscapes draws inspiration from the vast horizons of journeys and the winds of mountains, expanses, and change.
Road Home is a metaphor for personal quests, internal wanderings that extend beyond navigation to a point on a map. This pursuit can be infinite—a profound sense of homelessness and orphanhood envelops equally everywhere, stemming from a philosophical quest for identity. Paradise is perpetually lost, and only change remains constant in this world. In the pursuit of meaning, humanity is conceptually homeless.
Within this series, the artist explores the inward journey toward oneself—to create one's identity, a sanctuary within the soul where comfort and solace reside despite the walls and spaces that surround.
Visually, the artist revisits favorite motifs of mountainous landscapes, which left a deep impression during significant personal journeys and long roads. The artist allocates much of the composition to the sky. The sky, implicit and metaphorical, expresses space, air, and winds of change, beckoning and calling forth on this path. The infinite horizon in these paintings serves as a symbol, calling to the nomad, journeying in search of answers.
A restrained and limited color palette reflects stoicism on this path—a philosophical perspective on the world and a deep dive into the abyss of the self, probing inward rather than outward. The scale of the landscapes hints at the scale of the persona's personality, the internal volume of individuality.
