Curatorial Note
The feeling of home is an unexplainable longing for comfort. No luxury seems to be as appealing as the imperfections of a home. This comfort is related to neither just a space nor structure. We seem to find our homes in people, places, paths and states of being. We cherish the paths that lead us to the person we love. These paths hold memories and experiences that shape our lives and make us feel connected to our loved ones. They symbolize the journey we have taken to find our sense of belonging and create a deep emotional attachment to our homes, both physical and metaphorical.
Some artists express their most authentic feeling of belonging by portraying a place, person, or path their memory takes them to. We find home in people that we hold dear. We are comfortable being ourselves with them. We lean on them, so we feel less lonely.
The paths we take may lead us to different destinations, but the feeling of home remains the same. It is when we navigate through these paths that we discover new sides to who we are and deepen our understanding of what truly makes us feel connected and rooted. Whether it be through physical exploration or introspective journeys, the search for home is, for each one of us, a universal human experience that shapes our sense of identity and belonging.
Places bring memories, nostalgia, and a sense of familiarity that can provide comfort and solace in times of uncertainty. The sights, sounds, and smells of these places can transport us back to moments of joy, laughter, and love, reminding us of who we are and where we come from. We bring to you this collection to encourage reflection on the delicate idea of belonging. Let this be our invitation for you to let art help you discover your truest you - to wherever, however, and to whomever it leads you to.

Finding a home in a person is a profound feeling that evokes a sense of comfort, belonging, and unconditional love. It is an indescribable connection that transcends mere physical surroundings, creating a haven within their very being. We find these intimate connections with our lovers, friends, family and surprisingly sometimes with unfamiliar souls. In their company, we keep returning home.

He captures the ethereal connection between the divine lovers and their eternal dance of passion and belonging to each other. The subtle chemistry and irresistible magnetism can be sensed through their tender gazes and the unconditional love they carry for each other. These mythological soul companions become a reflection of what we yearn for, a bridge between the mythic and the modern, where the pursuit of such authentic connection remains ever relevant.
