Home Diorama
2022, watercolor, collage, and raised cut paper in layered shadow box, 17 × 22.5"

In Home Diorama, two figures kneel in mirrored gestures—offering, holding, supporting—surrounded by delicate towers topped with tiny houses and birds. Each pedestal feels like both architecture and altar, a place where something cherished is being carefully tended. The background is split into green and blue halves, like land and sky, anchoring the work in a balance between the grounded and the aspirational.

The cut paper silhouettes are filled with vintage imagery—nests, owls, birds in flight—all symbolic of the quiet labor of home-building and care. There's reverence in these gestures, a visual reminder that what we call "home" is made not just of walls, but of attention, devotion, and small daily acts of love.

Home Diorama speaks to the emotional infrastructure of domestic life. It’s not about perfection, but about presence—what it means to show up, hold space, and create shelter with intention.
