Souvenirs From Home

“Souvenirs From Home” is a series of five illuminated boxes, each serving as a contemplative exploration of the multifaceted concept of home. Through artistry, hidden meanings, and found objects, these works transform everyday notions into reflections on belonging, identity, and memory.
Craftsmanship:

Each box is hand-fabricated by the artist with meticulous care, blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design. The use of vibrant colors, thoughtful typography, and ambient lighting elevates each piece into a fusion of visual storytelling and personal memoir.

At first encounter, the viewer is drawn to a row of five vibrant, brick-sized boxes, each etched with evocative cutouts displaying single words: path, silence, courage, live, and nowhere. These words are illuminated from within, their soft glow creating an aura of intrigue and warmth. The viewer discovers an unexpected layer: the cutout letters serve as mirrors, reflecting their image back through the illuminated words. As the viewer shifts perspective, the negative spaces in the letters transform, revealing hidden meanings. Path becomes empathy, and courage morphs into encourage—a visual and emotional interplay that invites the viewer to reconsider the essence of the words.

Inside each box lies an object found in the artist’s home. These seemingly ordinary objects carry a symbolic resonance, completing the transformation of word to meaning. The journey within each box is one of discovery, from external observation to personal reflection, ultimately forging an intimate connection between the artist’s story and the viewer’s interpretation of home.
“Souvenirs From Home” offers an invitation to step into the space between words, light, and memory, finding a home not just physically but in the shared human experience of understanding and belonging.
