Longing of Home


The concept of "home" transcends the mere physicality of a place; it is a profound, multifaceted sentiment that encompasses security, comfort, identity, and belonging. My thesis, "Longing of Home," delves into this abstract notion, exploring how the essence of home is more than bricks and mortar. It is a feeling—a sanctuary where memories reside.

In my digital art, I try to capture the intricate nature of "home" and the deep yearning for the familiarity and connection it represents. Through visually evocative pieces, I evoke memories, nostalgia, and the emotional landscapes associated with this longing. By employing digital techniques to blend reality with imagination, I depict the fragmented and idealized nature of home, challenging viewers to reflect on their own perceptions of what home means to them.

Ultimately, my work aims to provide a visual dialogue that resonates with the universal yet deeply personal yearning for a place of belonging. Through this exploration, I invite viewers to contemplate their own definitions of home and find solace in the shared human experience of longing for a true "home."
