How does your work evoke a sense of safety, comfort, belonging, or protection within the home?
“This painting incorporates decorative building materials salvaged from project sites, transforming reclaimed elements into a meditation on growth, change, and preservation. Working directly with homeowners as an architect and interior designer, I see design choices as intimate expressions of identity; a person’s space often reflects who they are. By salvaging and repurposing architectural materials, the work preserves and honors the narratives embedded in those spaces even after occupants have moved on. The resulting compositions celebrate memory, materiality, and the continuity of home.”
