Homeless
Oil on Cardboard
Homeless is a body of work that delves into the idea of home and the longing to belong in an ever-shifting world. Drawing on the immigrant’s experience of displacement, these paintings use “homelessness” as a metaphor for the deeper metaphysical question of what it means to be. In this sense, we are all immigrants—strangers navigating the unfamiliar terrain of existence.
The figures in these works are stripped of clothing, identity, and place—naked beings suspended between worlds. Their turned faces and introspective postures speak to a quiet detachment, a search for grounding amid uncertainty. Through their stillness, Homeless reflects on the universal condition of belonging and the fragile boundaries between self, space, and soul.
