Acrylic on canvas

Running Home: At the centre of the artwork is a faceless, human-like figure painted in warm earthy tones, symbolising universality and a shared human yearning for home. The strides forward, evoking a sense of movement and urgency. The word HOME across the chest acts as both a literal and symbolic anchor, embodying the emotional pull toward a place of comfort, belonging, and identity. Radiating from the figure’s head are vibrant, dynamic strokes in yellows and whites, reminiscent of sun rays or energy bursts. These represent the warmth, hope, and light associated with the idea of home, suggesting that this journey is as much internal and emotional as it is physical. The background conveys the complexity of the journey; obstacles, memories, or chaos left behind in the search for sanctuary, reflecting the turbulence and energy of the human experience tied to finding or returning to a home. The ground beneath the figure’s feet is painted in greens and yellows, confers a sense of grounding and connection to the earth alluding to the fact that home is not just a structure but also a place rooted in nature, familiarity, and life.
