Crossroads
This painting explores themes of home, identity, and transition. The figure carries a small, rooted house on their back, symbolising the emotional weight of the past and the difficulty of moving forward while still being tethered to familiar places or memories. The bird perched atop the house represents freedom, guidance, or the longing for release.
The traffic light, showing both red and green, reflects an internal conflict-whether to stay or move ahead. With the vast ocean in the background, the painting suggests the possibility of new beginnings, yet the figure's hesitation conveys the struggle of letting go.
